KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (knee/toe) and tight end Brock Bowers (knee) were inactive for Sunday's 31-0 loss to the Chiefs, leaving Las Vegas without its top two pass catchers in an eighth straight loss to an AFC West opponent.
The injuries continued to pile up for the Raiders once the game started. Defensive end Maxx Crosby suffered knee and back injuries and did not return, while starting defensive tackle Adam Butler was ruled out with a back injury after having back spasms pregame.
Crosby, who was added to the injury report Friday due to his back, was looked at by athletic trainers for the majority of the second quarter. Speaking after the game, Raiders coach Pete Carroll said Crosby has been dealing with a sore knee and wasn't playing at 100% before being taken out.
"He wasn't his full self. He could play and wanted to be in there, but he just didn't look right," Carroll said.
Meyers, who had been 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 while recovering 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 had been listed as doubtful.
Carroll said 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 33.7 receiving yards per game in the past three games after averaging 76 in the first three. Bowers has 19 receptions for 225 yards this season.
