The Raiders will have their top offensive weapon for Monday night's game against the Chargers.

Tight end Brock Bowers is active for the Week 2 contest.

Bowers suffered a knee injury during Las Vegas' Week 1 win over New England. While he didn't practice on Thursday or Friday, he was limited on Saturday and then listed as questionable.

Bowers caught five passes for 103 yards last week.

Running back Raheem Mostert, offensive tackle Charles Grant, defensive end Charles Snowden, defensive tackle JJ Pegues, defensive tackle Tonka Hemingway, and guard Jackson Powers-Johnson are all inactive for the Raiders.

On the other side, linebacker Daiyan Henley is active for Monday night’s game after he was added to the injury report as questionable with an illness.

Safety Elijah Molden, tight end Tucker Fisk, cornerback Nikko Reed, outside linebacker Kyle Kennard, linebacker Kana'i Mauga, tight end Oronde Gadsden, and defensive lineman Otito Ogbonnia are inactive for Los Angeles.

The NFL tries to keep quarterbacks healthy, because quarterbacks make the game go.

In two weeks, things are going the wrong way.

Five starting quarterbacks are currently injured. 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy emerged from Week 1 with a toe injury. On Sunday, four other starting quarterbacks were injured: Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels (knee), Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow (toe), Jets quarterback Justin Fields (concussion), and Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy (ankle).

Bills quarterback Josh Allen also got busted in the nose, but he wasn't listed on Monday's injury report in advance of Thursday night's game against the Dolphins.

Last year, only two quarterbacks were injured in the early weeks of the season: Packers quarterback Jordan Love (knee) and Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (concussion).

On Monday night, Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield grabbed his left knee after going to the ground in the first half. He has missed no time.

The Buccaneers went 65 yards in nine plays on their first drive of Monday Night Football.

Tampa Bay tied Houston 7-7 on Ryan Miller's 20-yard touchdown reception.

Miller was Baker Mayfield's third read on the play, and the receiver beat safety Calen Bullock in scoring his third career touchdown.

The Bucs overcame an offensive pass interference on Mike Evans, who pushed off Bullock for a 19-yard reception to the Houston 1.

Mayfield was 4-of-6 for 55 yards on the drive, with five different receivers catching passes.

Bucky Irving ran for 16 yards on two carries.
