15 Nov
Summary
- Brock Bowers exited Sunday's game with a right ankle injury.
- He suffered the injury in the first quarter but briefly returned.
- Bowers has overcome a previous knee procedure this season.
Raiders tight end Brock Bowers suffered a right ankle injury during the first quarter of Sunday's matchup against the Seahawks. The injury occurred on the Raiders' opening drive.
After initially remaining on the ground, Bowers walked off the field and entered the medical tent. He briefly returned to the game and made a 12-yard reception in the second quarter. However, he later headed to the locker room again and was ruled out for the remainder of the game.
Prior to this latest setback, Bowers had been a significant contributor for the Raiders. He entered Week 10 with 48 catches for 658 yards and six touchdowns, and had recorded at least 70 receiving yards in seven consecutive games. This season, he also underwent a knee procedure in September, which caused him to miss the team's initial two games.
