LAS VEGAS -- Raiders tight end Brock Bowers was ruled out of Sunday's matchup against the Seattle Seahawks after suffering a right ankle injury in the opening quarter.
Bowers was hurt during the Raiders' opening drive. He remained on the ground after Ashton Jeanty's rushing attempt before walking off the field under his own power. Bowers went into the medical tent and then returned to the field for Fernando Mendoza's 10-yard touchdown run.
Bowers then headed to the locker room after that play and was listed as questionable to return by the team.
However, he returned with 13:30 to go in the second quarter and made a 12-yard reception on third down. Later in the quarter, Bowers went back into the locker room, where he stayed for the rest of the first half before ultimately being ruled out.
When healthy, Bowers has been one of the league's best pass catchers this season. He entered Week 10 with 48 catches for 658 yards and six touchdowns and recorded at least 70 receiving yards in seven straight games.
But he has also battled injury issues and underwent a knee procedure in September that caused him to miss the Raiders' first two games this season.
