The Las Vegas Raiders placed tight end Brock Bowers and safety Jeremy Chinn on season-ending injured reserve on Wednesday.

The Raiders (2-13) are on a nine-game losing streak with two games remaining at home against the New York Giants (2-13) on Sunday and the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 18.

Bowers has been battling a knee injury throughout most of his second NFL season yet still leads the team in receptions (64), receiving yards (680) and receiving touchdowns (seven) in 12 games (eight starts).

The Raiders are placing star TE Brock Bowers on injured reserve today, officially ending his season, per sources.
