"Bowers has played through a knee injury that he suffered in the season-opening win over the New England Patriots. Despite Bowers being on the field, his production has gone down drastically. He has totaled 14 catches for 122 yards since his five-catch, 103-yard performance in Week 1. Bowers -- who has played with a brace and a sleeve on his left knee -- has been held to under 50 receiving yards for three straight games -- the longest stretch with less than 50 yards in his two-year career."
""It's painful, sore, just annoying [and] frustrating because I want to be back to full strength and going full speed, being able to separate from guys," Bowers said. "I feel like I can't really do that to the best of my abilities right now.""
""We just want to make sure and slow it down a little bit and give him some extra rest. That's really what we try to do," Carroll said."
Brock Bowers did not practice for two straight days but is expected to play Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts and is listed as questionable. Coach Pete Carroll said there was no setback and the team wanted to give extra rest. Bowers said he is feeling better each week but cannot share injury details and finds the situation frustrating. He has played through a knee injury suffered in the season-opening win over the Patriots and has worn a brace and sleeve. His production has declined to 14 catches for 122 yards since Week 1, with three straight games under 50 receiving yards. Carroll said the injury has not changed the offense and hopes to target Bowers more in coming weeks.
