Brock Bowers, the tight end for the Raiders, is dealing with a PCL injury and a bone bruise, raising doubts about his playing status for Sunday’s game.
Bowers’ Injury Details and Impact
According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, Bowers has been managing his knee injury since Week 1 and has been advised to rest for his recovery. Despite this advice, he has not yet missed any games this season.
In the season opener, Bowers had an impressive performance with five catches for 103 yards. However, during the Raiders’ current three-game losing streak, he recorded only 14 catches for 122 yards.
Performance and Team Status
Even though his recent performance has declined, Bowers still ranks second on the team for receiving yards. This production isn’t meeting the expectations set during his rookie year.
The Raiders’ inactive list, which will provide information on players not available for the game, will be released 90 minutes before their 1 p.m. ET kickoff against Indianapolis.
Future Availability and Recovery
As Bowers manages his injury, his availability for upcoming games remains uncertain. Rest may be his best path to full recovery, ensuring he can return to peak performance.
The decision regarding his participation will likely depend on the team’s needs and his recovery progress.
