Geno Smith: Raiders Have To Find Ways To Get Brock Bowers The Ball

Brock Bowers, tight end for the Las Vegas Raiders, started the season strong with five catches for 103 yards in a Week 1 victory over the New England Patriots, but he suffered a knee injury during that game.

Although he has not missed any subsequent games, his performance has declined, with only 38 yards in each of the last two contests, and he has admitted to frustration over health issues hindering his ability to make big plays.

Raiders quarterback Geno Smith defended Bowers, stating that he has not shown any frustration to the team and that the responsibility lies with the coaches and himself to find ways to get Bowers more involved, praising him as the best tight end in the league.

The team views Bowers as a key offensive weapon whose full potential is essential for success, but his knee injury and the struggling run game have made it easier for defenses to focus on him, limiting his impact.

Broader offensive issues, including problems with the offensive line, are also affecting the team, which is reportedly looking to bring in free agents to address these weaknesses.
