Raiders Keep Brock Bowers’ Week 7 Availability Unclear as Carroll Considers Holding Him Out Through Bye

Carroll emphasized long-term health over a rushed timeline, pointing to a fully cleared return.

Overview

  • Pete Carroll said he is hopeful Bowers can face the Chiefs but noted it might be best to sit him until after the Week 8 bye.
  • Bowers injured his left knee in Week 1, played through it for several games, and has now missed two straight contests.
  • The team has not set a decision for the trip to Kansas City, leaving his status described as up in the air.
  • If he does not play in Week 7, his next chance to return would be Week 9 against the Jaguars following the bye.
  • With Bowers out, Michael Mayer returned from a concussion and posted 5 catches for 50 yards and a touchdown, positioning him for a larger role if needed.
