Las Vegas Raiders tight end Brock Bowers' second NFL season was set to go down as a disappointment anyway, and now it's over a little early. According to multiple reports, the Las Vegas Raiders are placing their star tight end on IR due to the knee injury that he has dealt with all season.
Bowers suffered that knee injury in Week 1, and after clearly being limited in the following three games, he missed the next three contests. He returned after the Raiders' bye with a huge game in Week 9 against the Jacksonville Jaguars, then came a dud in Week 10 against the Denver Broncos.
