The Las Vegas Raiders have an injury concern on their hands in the Week 3 game against the Carolina Panthers, as standout rookie tight end Brock Bowers exited the field in the second quarter.

On the Raiders' final drive of the first half, Bowers was the target of a pass from quarterback Gardner Minshew, but was unable to reel it in. In the process, Bowers took a big hit that led to his being pulled from the field.

Bowers was spotted going into the blue medical tent and it looks like he's being evaluated for a concussion. Here's the latest on Bowers.

UPDATE: According to Nick Walters of KTNV, Bowers left the blue medical tent and put his helmet on before jogging to the back with the team at halftime.

That could be a good sign, as players who are ruled out with a concussion usually don't get their helmet back. We'll be on the lookout for another update.

According to Vincent Bonsignore of the Las Vegas Review-Journal, Bowers went to the medical tent to get looked out. His status remains unknown as of this writing, but chances are he's being evaluated for a concussion.

Prior to exiting the field, Bowers had one catch for 21 yards. He's coming off the best showing of his career in Week 2 when he tallied nine catches for 98 yards in a win over the Baltimore Ravens.

We'll update this page as soon as more is known on the young tight end.
