All-Pro tight end Brock Bowers is inactive for the Las Vegas Raiders in Sunday's game against the host Indianapolis Colts.

Bowers, who had been listed as questionable to play, missed the Raiders' past two days of practice due to a PCL injury and bone bruise on his left knee. He sustained the injuries during Las Vegas' season-opening victory over the New England Patriots.

Bowers, 22, trails wide receiver Jakobi Meyers for the team lead in catches and receiving yards in four games this season. Bowers has caught 19 passes for 225 yards while playing in all four games but starting only one.

A second-year standout, Bowers earned All-Pro recognition as a rookie with 112 catches for 1,194 yards and five touchdowns.

In addition to Bowers, the Raiders (1-3) will be without fellow tight end Michael Mayer, linebacker Germaine Pratt, guard Caleb Rogers, defensive lineman Leki Fotu and cornerback Eric Stokes.

As for the Colts (3-1), they listed the following players as inactive: wide receiver Alec Pierce, cornerback Kenny Moore, running back Tyler Goodson, linebacker Buddy Johnson, offensive tackle Luke Tenuta, defensive tackle Eric Johnson and quarterback Riley Leonard.
