When the Raiders initially released Wilkins last week, Carroll said the team did not see a clear path forward to Wilkins’ return from injury.

Christian Wilkins, who was released by the Las Vegas Raiders on Thursday, kissed a fellow player on the head and the teammate took offense to it, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

According to Schefter, Wilkins "playfully" went to kiss an unnamed teammate on the top of his head, and the teammate took offense to it.
