Newer update on Brock Bowers: Kenneth Walker rushes for 177 yards, 2 TDs as Chiefs beat Raiders

Brock Bowers Added to Injury Report With Illness, Expected to Play vs. Chiefs

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Brock Bowers was added to the Week 4 injury report with an illness but has no game status for Sunday's game against Kansas City.

By Cole Hartwell

Raiders tight end Brock Bowers was a late addition to the Week 4 injury report due to an illness, but he is expected to play Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs. According to Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com, Bowers has no game designation for the matchup. Adam Schefter of ESPN reported that Las Vegas is fully expecting their star tight end to be available.

What happened

Bowers was added to the injury report before kickoff of the Week 4 game against the Chiefs. The Raiders listed him as questionable for the game, according to Schefter, but later reports indicated he had no game status and is set to play.

This is on top of a knee issue that had already landed him on the injury report. Schefter noted that Bowers had been on the report due to his knee and is now also dealing with an illness. The Raiders are expecting him to play, but he does have the illness.

Context

Bowers is the TE1 on the Raiders’ depth chart and has been a key part of their offense. Through Week 3, he has 10 receptions on 14 targets for 116 yards and a touchdown, playing 79 percent of snaps, according to Sleeper data. He is 23 years old and in his second NFL season.

What’s next

The Raiders face the Chiefs on Sunday. With Bowers expected to suit up, he should resume his normal role as the team’s top pass-catching tight end, barring any pregame setbacks.

Raiders TE Brock Bowers, who had been on the injury report due to his knee, now has an illness for today’s game vs. the Chiefs as well. The Raiders are fully expecting Bowers to play, but he does have an illness.

Raiders TE Brock Bowers, who had been on the injury report due to his knee, now has an illness for which Las Vegas is listing him as questionable for today’s game vs. the Chiefs. The Raiders are expecting Bowers to play, but he does have an illness.

🏈 Fantasy impact

Bowers managers can breathe a sigh of relief—he’s expected to play despite the illness. He remains a must-start TE1 given his elite usage and production (27.6 PPR points in Week 3). If Bowers were to feel worse before kickoff, Michael Mayer would likely see more targets, but there’s no indication that will happen. Keep him in lineups; his Sleeper projection of 15.3 PPR points reflects a solid but not spectacular matchup against the Chiefs.
