Brock Bowers hasn't had the start he was hoping to have so far this season. In the few games Bowers has played in, he asserted his dominance like he always does, but the only problem is that he hasn't been able to play in every game this season.
Bowers missed his first game of the season with a knee injury last week against the Indianapolis Colts, and unfortunately the star tight end has officially been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Tennessee Titans because of an ongoing knee injury.

Brock Bowers injury update: TE rules out vs Tennessee Titans
Bowers played in the first four games of the season with the Las Vegas Raiders and hauled in 19 receptions for 225 yards. He unfortunately has not scored a touchdown yet this season, but he still showed why he was voted the No. 1 tight end in the NFL.
Bowers had reportedly been dealing with this injury for most of the season, but he initially opted to just play through it. He potentially could have played through it the entire season, but that would put him at serious risk to suffer a more significant injury.
A doctor also informed Bowers and the Raiders that the only way he would get 100 percent healthy is by resting. So that is what he and the Raiders ultimately decided to do these last two weeks.
The Raiders season unfortunately has gone sideways as they are just 1-4 to start the year. Their one win came in week one against the New England Patriots as well, so Las Vegas is currently riding a four game losing streak.
The Raiders need Bowers to get healthy soon because without him they don’t stand a chance to make a run at the playoffs. So hopefully he is able to return soon, because the Raiders season could be over in just a few short weeks if they keep losing.
