Pete Carroll says the Raiders didn't rush into decision to release Christian Wilkins

Raiders coach Pete Carroll said Friday the club didn't rush into its decision to release defensive tackle Christian Wilkins a day earlier over a dispute regarding his recovery from a broken foot. “We took a long time to make our decision,” Carroll said. Wilkins was injured in Week 5 last season and had some sort of setback in his recovery that took him out of offseason practices and landed him on the physically unable to perform list shortly before training camp opened Wednesday.
