The Las Vegas Raiders have a big game coming up in Week 2.
On Monday Night Football, they'll take on the Los Angeles Chargers in a matchup of two AFC West teams that won their first games.
It'll be crucial for the Raiders to have all their stars on the field.
Brock Bowers, the second-year tight end, left Sunday's game, but he's also got time to recover.
At his Monday press conference, Raiders coach Pete Carroll provided this update on Bowers and linebacker Elandon Roberts:
“Really, we’re just going day-to-day,” Carroll said. “Those guys are tough guys, now. They’re not going to take the easy way out on this one, they’re all going to push to get right.”

Carroll also appreciates the extra day that Monday Night Football allows for them to get healed up.
“I know the Chargers have that going even more so with the break they have,” Carroll said, referring to the Chargers having played on Friday in Week 1 in Brazil. “But this will really help us and give us a chance.”
Since the Raiders play on Monday, their first injury report this week won't come out until Thursday.

Before leaving Sunday's game, Bowers had five catches for 103 yards. He played an oddly limited amount of snaps in the first few drives, but the Raiders eventually had him out there making plays before he departed.
Hopefully for Vegas, it truly is no big deal and Bowers can get right back out on the field to take on the Chargers.
