Injured Raiders star tight end Wednesday's absence of Darren Waller from practice

The desperate Las Vegas Raiders began their practice week in preparation for Sunday’s game against the Houston Texans without standout tight end Darren Waller on Wednesday.

According to many sources, Waller’s backup, Foster Moreau, returned to practice on Wednesday.

Waller sustained a hamstring injury early in the Raiders’ defeat to the Chiefs in Week 5 nine days ago. Two games were missed by Moreau due to a knee ailment. They are, of course, coming off a week of rest. Josh McDaniels, the head coach of the Las Vegas Raiders, stated that he hopes Waller would play on Sunday, but made no predictions. His condition will be checked throughout the week. If Waller is unable to play this week, Moreau would replace him, barring a setback.

Darren Waller informed National Football League(NFL) Media that he may have trouble playing this week

.@Raiders remain upbeat despite 1-4 start. Strong belief things are going to turn. Spoke to TE Darren Waller, who left previous game w/ hamstring injury. He did not practice today, but said of injury: “This weekend will probably be tough for me, but it won’t be a longtime thing.”

They received positive injury news on Wednesday when they cleared starting cornerback Anthony Averett (thumb) and receiver/special teamer DJ Turner to practice (ankle).

#Raiders HC Josh McDaniels said that CB Anthony Averett (thumb) and WR DJ Turner (ankle), who've both been on injured reserve since Week 1, will be back at practice today. They're both eligible to be activated to play against the Texans if they make the necessary progress.

They are both eligible to return off injured reserve and might be activated in time to play on Sunday. They need Averett even more now that Nate Hobs will be placed on injured reserve this week with a thumb injury. He is required to miss at least four games.

On Wednesday, Moreau was restricted along with linebacker Jayon Brown (who missed the Chiefs game) and starting receiver Mack Hollins.
