Really weird injury, was non contact, but didn't seem to have the seriousness of non contact. Hope he is okay.

Pelissaro reporting post game that they took them out as a precaution. Took a hit on the knee and was a little sore checked out fine no concern going forward.

How did you come up with “non contact”? He was hit hard a few plays prior.

Raiders coach Pete Carroll said Brock Bowers (knee) is “day to day.”
Carroll admitting that anything is wrong should be a warning sign for fantasy managers, as he’s always supremely optimistic on injuries. Bowers’ practice status will be a major news story for the week ahead. We wouldn’t be surprised if he missed Week 2, but at the very least we expect the Raiders to take it easy on him in practice ahead of their game against the Chargers.
I thought the expectation is him not missing time

I had posted that reply before the replays of the play before had surfaced. Sorry. I jumped the gun.

Nobody knew he was hit in the knee , the highlight of him looking hurt was after running and just started limping .

They showed highlight of the hit around the same time he went into tent. It’s all good.

Not sure but am anxiously watching.Anyone know if Bowers practiced today?
With the Raiders playing Monday night, us Bowers owners will have to waste a roster spot on Michael Mayer this weekend if Bowers is banged up.
But can Bowers also get a clutch hit? If so the Padres are in serious need.

I can’t vouch for this guy, but he suspects a PCL sprain. If accurate, we could be looking at a multiple week absence.

It's typically going to sideline a player at least 4-6 weeks and put them on short term IR.
I don't see him playing this week and the Raiders are most likely playing gamesmanship right now. But if they don't put him on IR before the game on Monday I'm going to be inclined to think it's not a PCL. But I would add I think it may be and am not going to be surprised if we hear he's heading to IR in the next day or so.

Sorry I have a torn PCL and was told surgery is only for comfort/stop swelling post activity otherwise I am fine.
Sorry for your torn PCL and think so. Depends on the grade strain but like a grade 1 you'd handle similar to a sprained ankle. RICE, therapy, maybe some drugs, etc.etc.Is that like an initial swelling/healing?typically a pain tolerance thing, no?I can’t vouch for this guy, but he suspects a PCL sprain.

Surgery is typically only an option for higher grade strains and that would be a gut punch as it relates to Bowers.

He's still standing around during practice, wasn't put on PUP so it might be a week or 2. Just worried he goes out there hurt and really messed it up

I’m starting Pitts Sunday night unless there’s some good news on him

I spent good chunk of my wad on Fannin n JJ and I'm starting them both. I don't think Bowers makes it through the game. I'd rather have him sit.
Raiders seem to be a team on the rise. I think they play it smart and take precautions with Bowers and sit him this week.
No need to risk losing your teams stud TE for multiple games. MM is a very capable backup. I hope he sits.

Where is the talk of a PCL sprain?

That’s the prognosis from some of the fantasy football medical analysts. I posted an example above. But, here’s another one from David Chao.
During this clip, he seems to suggest that you can play through a low grade PCL sprain. But, I’m not sure about the risk of aggravation, as I’m not a doctor.
Of course, these fantasy docs may be wrong, and Bowers could be totally fine.

I wonder what his snap count looks like. I could imagine we see even more Mayer.
King of the Jungle
Footballguy
That is a good point. He may play….a little…
Ilov80s
Footballguy
I would think he would at least be in on high leverage situations like red zone but you never know. Could be anything from 100% full go to total decoy.
King of the Jungle

Starting Strange over him this week, willing to live with the mistake.
Bowers was not exactly sounding like someone brimming with confidence he would play, to say nothing of his normal snaps.
I got a Kittle/Goedert/Theo Johnson team that I picked up Mayer on. Still might go with him over Theo even if Bowers is a lock to play.
King of the Jungle
Footballguy
Theo looked rough week one, a bit disappointing after showing some promise last year….cannot blame you on that one.
efactor

Other than Jimmy Graham, Wilson has never really targeted TEs. And even Graham wasn't great with him.
Hopefully Dart is starting soon. Actually like Theo
Ilov80s
Footballguy
Yeah Graham to Seattle was definitely a downgrade.

What little I saw Theo dropped two easy balls last week.
