Las Vegas Raiders Place Tight End Michael Mayer on Reserve/Non-Football Injury List

The Las Vegas Raiders have made a significant roster move by placing their tight end, Michael Mayer, on the reserve/non-football injury and illness list. This decision was announced by Field Yates of ESPN, citing that Mayer is dealing with a personal matter.

Mayer, a rookie from Notre Dame, has been absent from the team since Week 3 due to this personal issue. During his rookie campaign, he had a notable performance, catching 27 passes for 304 yards and scoring two touchdowns.

This move is expected to impact the team’s lineup, with rookie Brock Bowers likely to see increased playing time at the tight end position. Bowers is considered a high-end option for fantasy managers in the foreseeable future.

The exact nature of Mayer’s personal matter has not been disclosed, but the team’s decision to place him on the reserve list indicates that he will be out for an extended period.
