The Raiders and Chargers are preparing for their late Monday Night Football game at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. One question coming in was surround the status of TE Brock Bowers and G Jackson Powers-Johnson.
Both starters were Questionable on the Raiders final injury report. Bowers suffered a knee injury in the team's season opener last Sunday and Jackson Powers-Johnson was revealed to have a concussion this week during practice.
We now have our answer: Bowers will play. JPJ will not.
Replacing JPJ at right guard will be veteran Alex Cappa. The team signed Cappa this offseason with the intention of making him their starting right guard. He lost his starting job in camp when Jordan Meredith won the starting center job, thus moving JPJ to right guard. So, at least Cappa can easily step into the job. Bowers's production would have been much hard to replace.
