Las Vegas Raiders DE Maxx Crosby.
The Las Vegas Raiders are desperate to get back into the win column amid a three-game losing streak. Unfortunately, things don’t get any easier as they travel to Indianapolis in Week 5 to face a 3-1 Colts team.
To make matters worse, two of the team’s best players are injured. Tight end Brock Bowers hurt his knee in Week 1 and hasn’t looked like the same player since. He was a limited participant in practice on Wednesday, but it appears he may have aggravated something.
According to the Raiders’ injury report, Bowers did not practice on Thursday, which is not a good sign for his status in Week 5. He hasn’t had a big game since Week 1, so it’s possible that Las Vegas has decided to give him some time off to let the knee heal properly. The offense just isn’t the same without him being 100%.
That’s not the only concerning injury update. The Raiders also revealed that star defensive end Maxx Crosby was limited due to a knee injury. Now, Crosby would likely rather have the doctors cut his leg off than for him to miss a game this early in the season, but if he can’t play, that will be a major cause for concern. He was limited, so he wasn’t out completely, but he will be a player to watch.
