On the first drive of the game, Brock Bowers went down with an ankle injury and headed for the medical tent. As the team came out of the half, Bowers was ruled OUT for the remainder of the game.

It goes without saying that this is a big deal for the Raiders. He is far and away their best player and the offense goes through him. So, should he miss extended time, it will only make the start to Fernando Mendoza's career all the more difficult.

Bowers began the season sidelined after a meniscus cleanup just prior to the start of the season. He missed hte first two games. His return was notable and he has had at least 70 yards receiving in every game until this week, a streak of seven-straight games.
