Overview

  • Las Vegas ruled the star tight end inactive for Week 5 against the Colts, marking the first missed game of his NFL career.
  • Bowers is managing a PCL injury and associated bone bruise sustained in Week 1, per multiple reports including ESPN's Adam Schefter.
  • He was limited Wednesday before sitting out Thursday and Friday, and after Pete Carroll expressed optimism, the team shifted to a conservative approach.
  • Carroll said Monday that Bowers is week-to-week, with re-evaluation planned ahead of the Titans game and no indication surgery is needed.
  • With Michael Mayer out due to a concussion, the Raiders turned to Ian Thomas, Carter Runyon and practice-squad elevation Albert Okwuegbunam to cover tight end snaps.
