Brock Bowers’ second NFL season is over with two games remaining.
The Raiders are placing the Pro Bowl tight end on injured reserve and ending his season, NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reported, according to sources briefed on the situation.
Bowers has been dealing with a knee injury since Week 1 and the decision was made to address it now and focus on being 100 percent in 2026, Pelissero added.
Bowers made his second straight Pro Bowl, but the former first-rounder didn’t have the same explosive season as his rookie campaign. Due to injuries, Bowers played in just 12 games, catching 64 passes for 680 yards with seven touchdowns.
Bowers had 176 career catches, the most by a tight end through two seasons in NFL history. He finishes with 1,874 yards, the third-most by a TE over two campaigns, falling 107 yards shy of passing Mike Ditka (1,980) for the top spot.
