The Raiders quarterback's week away from the team now has an explanation, Kwity Paye missed Thursday sick, and Bowers still has not practiced fully before Sunday.
Aidan O'Connell said on Instagram that his father, Jim, has died. "It is with immense sadness that I share the passing of my Dad, Jim," the Raiders quarterback wrote. "My Dad was a gift to me and to so many others."

O'Connell has not practiced in a week and did not play at the Chargers, as the Review-Journal and Heavy reported.
