Tight end Michael Mayer was placed on the reserve/non-football football illness list in early October. He has now returned to practiced with the Las Vegas Raiders.
Early into October, the Las Vegas Raiders were dealt a blow when second-year tight end Michael Mayer was placed on the reserve list for a non-football related illness.
It was said to be a personal matter. It had kept him out the previous two games before he was placed on the list. Mayer had just made two starts on the season in three appearances, notching four receptions for just 21 yards.Rookie first-round pick Brock Bowers has become the team's bona fide No. 1 tight end, along with it's best pass catcher all around.
"Yeah, I just want to see us man, like I always talked about, us looking right, sounding right, matching the philosophy and idea of what I preach, which is physicality, ability to run the ball, taking shots down the field, protecting the football first and foremost, disciplined up front," Pierce told reporters last week. " I think what we're going to do going forward, we’ve got to deal with what we have to. Obviously, we're dealing with injuries.
