Raiders Place Brock Bowers, Jeremy Chinn on Season-Ending IR Ahead of Giants Game

The team frames the move as a health-first step for 2026, a choice drawing scrutiny given the Week 17 draft-order stakes.

Overview

  • Bowers, a second-year Pro Bowler, has managed a left-knee PCL injury and bone bruise since Week 1 and missed three games before returning.
  • Initial word came from NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero and was quickly corroborated by ESPN and the Associated Press.
  • Bowers finishes 2025 leading the Raiders with 64 receptions, 680 yards and seven touchdowns across 12 games.
  • Safety Jeremy Chinn was also placed on injured reserve after starting 15 games, recording 114 tackles and two forced fumbles.
  • Michael Mayer is set to take over as TE1 as Las Vegas (2-13) faces the 2-13 Giants in a matchup widely viewed as pivotal to the No. 1 pick.
