"KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- The Las Vegas Raiders will attempt to end their seven-game losing streak against AFC West opponents without their top two pass catchers. Wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (knee/toe) and tight end Brock Bowers (knee) are inactive on Sunday against the Chiefs. Meyers and Bowers were limited participants after being sidelined Wednesday and Thursday. Meyers, who was originally listed as questionable, was on the field ahead of kickoff, running routes and catching passes."
"Bowers practiced Friday for the first time since Oct. 1. He has been sidelined for the past two weeks so that he could recover from a posterior cruciate ligament injury and a bone bruise in his left knee that he suffered in the Raiders' season-opening win over the New England Patriots, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter. Earlier in the week, Carroll alluded to the possibility of Bowers sitting to get additional rest with the bye week approaching. He was listed as doubtful."
"Meyers was injured on a 16-yard reception in the fourth quarter of last week's 20-10 win over the Tennessee Titans. Through six games in 2025, Meyers has totaled 29 catches for 329 yards. His numbers have dropped in recent weeks. He has averaged 33.7 yards per game in the past three games after averaging 76 in the first three weeks."
The Las Vegas Raiders will face the Kansas City Chiefs without Jakobi Meyers and Brock Bowers, prolonging challenges against AFC West opponents. Meyers and Bowers were limited in midweek practice but were ruled inactive for the game. Bowers has been recovering from a posterior cruciate ligament injury and a bone bruise in his left knee sustained in the season opener and recently returned to practice after two weeks sidelined. Meyers suffered an injury on a 16-yard reception in the fourth quarter of the Titans game and has seen production decline over the past three weeks. The absences create opportunities for rookies Jack Bech and Dont'e Thornton Jr., while Tre Tucker is expected to take on a larger role after totaling 24 catches for 356 yards and four touchdowns.
