I'm just waiting on the news he's been placed on IR. But knowing the Raiders, they'll keep rolling him out there as a decoy for another few weeks, so by the time they DO decide to shut him down...it will be the fantasy playoffs. Wait for it.
Well, not like they are a lock over the Titans. Pete needs a win. If they lose to the Titans, big moral problems. Bowers plays if he’s able, even if not 100 percent.I'm just waiting on the news he's been placed on IR.

I could see it, knowing the Raiders they totally messed this up. My Gut tells me they sit him this week because its the Titans so he's healthy for the Chiefs
And therein lies the problem. He's not 100%, it's the knee, and he'll basically just be a decoy and not get any passes. They roll him out there and risk the knee getting worse. If a couple weeks rest is all it needs, then that should be what they give him to keep the knee healthy for the long run (future years, not this year...it's over for the Raiders). They're gonna cause the knee to get worse and WILL have to put him on IR. The incompetence is rampant with that franchise.Well, not like they are a lock over the Titans. Pete needs a win.

They should have done it weeks ago, but not expecting it now.I'm just waiting on the news he's been placed on IR.
When he was first injured, you mentioned that a PCL sprain is a 4-6 week injury and would typically require an IR stint. Given that he was playing on it and had a setback in week 4, returning in that 9-11 timeframe makes sense.They should have done it weeks ago, but not expecting it now.I'm just waiting on the news he's been placed on IR.
Would keep him out till week 11. Now I can't say they won't do it, because per Dr. Chao last week if he has a bone bruise he should be sitting out multiple weeks.
But the bye week in 8 would in theory allow them to hold him about a month in total and return in week 9.
Looking like a decent stopgap until Bowers is back. PCLs are usually 4-6 week injuries and he had a setback in week 4. So, even with the week 8 bye, it’s certainly possible that Bowers misses more than one more game.
Seems like Carroll has been using the magic 8-ball to determine his weekly participation. Raiders have nothing to play for, make sure he is healed please.
And my honest apologies for saying they have nothing to play for, that is obviously an overstatement. However, in that division it would be an uphill battle. I am just a new first-time frustrated member of drafting a TE early and watching them shove him on the field when not ready. Wish you guys the best and think you have some nice building blocks going forward.
