The Las Vegas Raiders face a growing vulnerable Los Angeles Rams team on Sunday. LA will roll without star wide receiver Davante Adams and, as of Wednesday, defensive tackle Kobie Turner. But the Raiders’ Brock Bowers is battling injuries too.
So Vegas and head coach Klint Kubiak decided to limit him during Wednesday practice, with Ryan McFadden of ESPN revealing the injury report.
Turns out the All-Pro tight end is just as banged up as the Rams. And he’s not the only notable injury here.

Running back Mike Washington is another dealing with multiple ailments with a foot and back injury. Washington became a limited participant too. Tackle Kolton Miller rose as one more Raiders player who earned limited reps during the Wednesday session.
But the Rams have gotten bit by the injury bug greatly. Adams must sit out for the next six to 10 games with his hamstring. Turner landed on injured reserve, where he’ll join edge rusher Myles Garrett. Los Angeles even lost newly added placekicker Blake Grupe, who tore his ACL while attempting a tackle against the Arizona Cardinals.
Meanwhile the Raiders are aiming to get back into the win column. Vegas has lost three straight games but fell in a wild 33-30 shootout against heavy AFC favorite the Buffalo Bills. Quarterback Kirk Cousins shredded the Bills with 313 passing yards and tossed two touchdowns with one interception.
Vegas also made a big change on the offensive line, releasing former top 10 pick Evan Neal at tackle from the practice squad.
