Las Vegas' young star was dealing with a knee injury leading up to Week 2.
The Las Vegas Raiders were able to pull out a victory in Week 1 of the 2025 NFL season despite not having star tight end Brock Bowers for a portion of the game. He left at the end of the third quarter with a knee injury.
Bowers told reporters after the game that he could have subbed back in if needed, but head coach Pete Carroll told reporters after the game that the training staff made the executive decision to hold him out, given the poor field conditions.
