Brock Bowers was a limited participant in the Las Vegas Raiders' practice on Wednesday.
That seemed to shape up just fine for him to play in Week 5 against the Indianapolis Colts.
But now? That looks in quite a bit of doubt.
Bowers didn't participate in Thursday or Friday's practice for Vegas.

On Friday, pictures from practice showed Bowers with a sleeve on his left knee. He's been held out due to what is listed as a knee injury.
Bowers has already been a game-time decision earlier this season, but he hasn't actually missed a game.
He has been quiet since getting hurt initially in Week 1. He had five catches for 103 yards in the opener before getting knocked out of the game.
In Week 2, Bowers went for five catches and 38 yards.
In Week 3, it was four catches for 38 yards.
And in Week 4, it was five grabs for 46 yards.

But two DNPs to end the week put Bowers' status for Week 5 in genuine doubt.
If Bowers can't go, Michael Mayer would get TE1 snaps, and he's certainly competent.
But the Raiders need Bowers to get healed up sooner rather than later, or their 1-3 start to the season will be tough to overcome.
