Las Vegas Raiders TE Brock Bowers enters the 2024 season with huge expectations. Taken with the 13th pick in the first round of the 2024 draft, Bowers was considered the best TE in college football and a consensus first rounder for three straight seasons at Georgia. In week 1 of the pre-season, Bowers began showing some of his promise, lining up all over the formations, including at fullback, and being heavily targeted in his series’ on the field. Since then, however, there hasn’t been much word on his progress and he didn’t play in game 2.

The Raiders currently haven’t formally said anything except that he missed the 2nd pre-season game with a sore foot, but there wasn’t an indication of an actual injury, nor any hint of prognosis. The Raiders’ beat writers have reported that Bowers missed the first two practices before the 3rd pre-season game, but other than that, there has been nothing from the team.

Without anything official and with the Riders planning on not playing any starters in the remaining pre-season game, the Bowers situation remains a wait-and-see and hope for the best. He is still Player Profilers TE2 in all Dynasty formats and his early 4th round ADP remains unchanged until there is official word of an injury.
