Mandatory Credit: Bob DeChiara-Imagn Images Raiders tight end Brock Bowers wanted to return Sunday after taking a hit to the knee, but head coach Pete Carroll shot him down.
Bowers did not play in the fourth quarter but had five catches for 103 yards before exiting the 20-13 win at New England.
"He's an incredible player so we need to have him," Carroll said.
Carroll said the Raiders would know more about Bowers' injury by Monday when he next meets with media. Bowers told NFL Network it was "a little hit to the knee," adding he's not concerned about a long-term absence.
The Raiders (1-0) play the Los Angeles Chargers (1-0) in Week 2.
