Game-time call for Week 7
Waller, who was added to the Raiders' injury report Saturday and is listed as questionable with an ankle injury, is viewed as a game-time decision for Sunday's contest against the Eagles, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
The tight end strained his inner ankle and heel during Friday's practice, and his Week7 status now hinges on how he feels during pre-game warmups. If Waller is out or only able to play a limited amount of snaps Sunday, Foster Moreau would be the next man up to see added opportunities at tight end. Given that Las Vegas and Philadelphia kick off at 4:05 p.m. ET on Sunday, those considering Waller in fantasy lineups will ideally have an alternate option in place should he end up missing the contest.
