The Las Vegas Raiders are placing tight end Brock Bowers and safety Jeremy Chinn on season-ending injured reserve, ESPN reported Wednesday.

The Raiders (2-13) are on a nine-game losing streak with two games remaining at home against the New York Giants on Sunday and the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 18.

Bowers has been battling a knee injury throughout most of his second NFL season yet still leads the team in receptions (64), receiving yards (680) and receiving touchdowns (seven) in 12 games (eight starts).

Bowers, 23, was selected to his second Pro Bowl this week. He made the All-Pro first team as a rookie in 2024 with 112 catches for 1,194 yards and five TDs in 17 games (16 starts).

Chinn has been dealing a back injury for most of December but has started all 15 games. He ranks second on the team with 114 tackles to go along with one sack and two forced fumbles.

Chinn, 27, has three interceptions, seven sacks and 555 tackles through 86 career games (82 starts) with the Carolina Panthers (2020-23), Washington Commanders (2024) and Raiders.
