As per a reporter, there was a potential concussion scare after the way he fell down while covering some yards for his team. Had Bowers endured a concussion, he would have been forced out of the ongoing game in addition to being benched in the next game at the least.
The latest update suggests that the rookie tight end put on his helmet and headed to the locker room with his teammates after he came back from the blue tent.

If you were looking to seeing more of the swifty tight end, you can relax knowing that he hasn’t been benched yet. He just took a brief break during the half-time break with the rest of his teammates. It seems like he has been gaining popularity fast in the NFL world.
Despite the fandom based on his possession skills as a TE, Bowers has a knack for getting himself injured.
This is the second time Brock Bowers would have gotten injured
The NFL gods were defending Brock Bowers during this game. Otherwise, a concussion or a neck injury could have been a serious addition to a newbie’s injuries during his rookie year. However, he has already gotten injured once even before the regular season kicked off this year.
When playing vs Minnesota Vikings in the preseason, the swift tight end accidentally injured his foot. While this was only a minor injury, the head coach wanted to be careful with the rook. He ended up keeping him benched for the first two games of the regular season.
It would have been disappointing if Bowers had gotten injured once again only to be benched again by his head coach. Back then, he was protecting the young athlete ‘from himself’ by keeping him away from the gridiron. But now, he seems to have gained faith in him after he walked off a potential concussion.
