RaidersBrock Bowers Likely Out vs. Colts as Tight End Injuries Pile Up

The team prioritizes Bowers’ recovery with a Week 8 bye approaching.

Overview

  • NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported Saturday that Bowers, listed as questionable with a knee injury, is trending toward not playing in Indianapolis.
  • ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported Michael Mayer has been ruled out with a concussion, and Las Vegas elevated Albert Okwuegbunam from the practice squad.
  • Bowers was held out of practice Thursday and Friday after weeks of limited participation, and he said the knee has hindered his ability to separate.
  • Head coach Pete Carroll said Friday he anticipated Bowers would play, but reporters said the knee did not respond during the week, casting doubt on his availability.
  • The Raiders plan to lean on Ian Thomas and Carter Runyon in two-tight-end sets with Okwuegbunam rotating as they visit the 3-1 Colts, who feature rookie TE Tyler Warren.
