Breaking: Raiders most outstanding player’s injury update has Raiders fans starting to panic.

This is a peculiar point in the NFL preseason. This last week has evolved into the one where only the backups’ backups play, since clubs now only play three games. The fact that starters won’t even be suiting up for the games this weekend adds to the confusion surrounding injury reports. Apart from a few players who are really in the running, it’s highly likely that any player who is slightly injured will miss this weekend’s games. This is all I’m saying because we’re going to panic for the remainder of this blog.

Brock Bowers remains injured. Perhaps the Raiders are being cautious while dealing with him. However, considering the most recent information regarding his condition, things are getting a little unsettling. It originates from The Athletic’s Tashan Reed.

Once more, considering where we are in the calendar, waiting for him definitely isn’t a cause for concern. But in a way is he, having not practiced in more than a week? It’s quite probable that they gave Bowers two to three weeks to recover before the season began since they saw enough of him during the preseason. Although Raiders supporters don’t see it that way, it is feasible!

In any case, Antonio Pierce informed the media this week at his daily press conference that, similar to Jackson Powers-Johnson, they were being cautious in their decision-making with Bowers in preparation for the Chargers’ opening game of the season.

It’s all good that ends well, then. Yes, I know that this hasn’t ended yet, but I’m going to act like it has! Since nothing matters in the third week of the preseason! When Bowers returns for Week 1 and puts up big numbers, we’ll look back and realize it was a wise decision to sit him for three weeks, leaving us to question the true purpose of preseason. Foot injuries usually don’t last long, so there’s no need to be concerned.
