Darren Waller is good to go today for Raiders as they get back to work - via Josh McDaniels.

Waller is dealing with a hamstring injury, but is also trying to get a new contract from the Raiders with new agent Drew Rosenhaus. Some are now speculating the two were related and a deal could be announced soon.

Josh McDaniels said he didn't feel comfortable making a prediction about Darren Waller's status for the Raiders regular-season opener against the Chargers.

The tweet also said McDaniels isn't concerned about the absence of Waller overall, but there appears to be some doubt about Week 1. Waller returned to practice recently but is now dealing with a hamstring. Hopefully it's all precautionary but it's something owners will need to watch.

Raiders star tight end Darren Waller said recently that he would be back on the field this week.

Multiple reporters on the Raiders beat note that Waller is one of several players who have returned to practice on Wednesday.

The story said Waller is seeking a new contract. The story added he was reportedly sidelined by a hamstring injury — not staging a “hold in.”

This coincides with a recent report from The Athletic that Waller has missed "five practices in a row."

Schefter continues to say that it is "not considered serious." Tashan Reed of The Athletic reported that the time away for Waller has meant more looks for Foster Moreau, who has "looked to be more well-rounded as a receiver and blocker." Darren Waller can't take another seismic hit to his value and still remain a fourth-round fantasy pick; he's already being squeezed out of target share from newly-acquired Davante Adams.
