Las Vegas Raiders tight end Brock Bowers will miss the Week 5 game against the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday because of a knee injury he sustained in the season opener. The team listed Bowers as inactive after he failed to practice for two consecutive days this week, and he appeared on the injury report with a questionable designation.
Bowers participated in practice on a limited basis earlier in the week, but his status declined as game day approached. The tight end played in all previous games this season despite the injury, but the Raiders determined he could not compete at Lucas Oil Stadium.
Michael Mayer will also sit out the contest against the Colts. The absence of both tight ends creates personnel challenges for the Raiders as they seek a victory in Indianapolis.
