Brock Bowers<\/a> did not practice Thursday, per the Raiders<\/a>‘\u00a0injury report<\/a>, but after returning for Saturday’s session, coach Pete Carroll expects the star tight end will play in Week 2 against the Chargers<\/a> on “Monday Night Football.”<\/p>\n

Bowers, who was\u00a0reportedly wearing a brace over a sleeve on his knee<\/a>, was “great” and did “really well” in practice Saturday, according to Carroll.\u00a0Bowers is officially questionable for Monday night’s game per the Raiders’ injury report.<\/p>\n

\"What<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

The former Georgia star set a rookie record with 112 receptions last season. His 1,194 receiving yards were most by a rookie tight end and 11th-most by a rookie, regardless of position.<\/p>\n

Bowers was off to another strong start in 2025, reeling in five catches for 103 yards through just over two and a half quarters of play against the Patriots<\/a>. On his final catch, though, he took an awkward hit to the side of the knee from Patriots safety Craig Woodson<\/a>. Bowers played one more snap but was clearly hobbled and did not return in an eventual 20-13 Las Vegas win.<\/p>\n

Michael Mayer<\/a> would step into Bowers’ spot if Bowers is unable to play. The former second-round pick out of Notre Dame made four catches for 38 yards in the opener.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Getty Images Brock Bowers did not practice Thursday, per the Raiders‘\u00a0injury report, but after returning for Saturday’s session,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":156601,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[63],"tags":[15947,95573,27556,14387,1812,95571,95572,349,28656,99],"class_list":["post-156600","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-brock-bowers","tag-brock-bowers-hurt","tag-fantasy-football","tag-geno-smith","tag-las-vegas-raiders","tag-las-vegas-raiders-injury-news","tag-michael-mayer","tag-nfl","tag-pete-carroll","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/156600","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=156600"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/156600\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/156601"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=156600"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=156600"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=156600"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
