UPDATE: Brock Bowers (ankle) is questionable to return to today’s game.
After getting rolled up on by a teammate while blocking, Brock Bowers is headed to the locker room with trainers in the early minutes of Sunday’s game between the Raiders and the Seahawks.
Michael Mayer would be a candidate for additional receiving work if Bowers cannot return. Mayer entered the matchup with 39 receptions for 388 yards and a touchdown, already contributing regularly alongside Bowers.
For rookie quarterback Fernando Mendoza, losing Bowers would complicate an already difficult first NFL start. Mendoza took over following the Kirk Cousins trade and faces a Seattle defense that entered the week allowing an NFL-low 244.2 yards per game
