Raiders reportedly placing TE Brock Bowers on injured reserve, ending his season
The Las Vegas Raiders will reportedly place tight end Brock Bowers on injured reserve on Wednesday, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. The move will end the 23-year-old's season.
Bowers has been dealing with a knee injury all season that forced him out of the lineup for four weeks in October and limited him to 12 games this season.
The 2024 first-round draft pick was an All-Pro last season and has made two Pro Bowls in his first two NFL seasons. After recording 112 catches for 1,194 yards and five touchdowns in 2024, the injury affected his output this season as he'll finish with 680 receiving yards, with 64 receptions and seven touchdowns.
Bowers will miss the Raiders' final two games against the New York Giants and Kansas City Chiefs. This week's game against the Giants has draft implications with both teams sitting at 2-13 as they vie for the No. 1 overall selection in April's NFL draft.
