Raiders name captains for Week 4 matchup with Chiefs

The Raiders have chosen their captains for their Week 4 game against the Chiefs.

The Raiders have named three captains for their upcoming Week 4 game against the Chiefs. Quarterback Brock Bowers leads the offensive contingent, LB Nakobe Dean heads the defense, and LB Tommy Eichenberg is chosen for special teams. This selection follows the team's practice of rewarding players who excelled in their previous game.

Bowers made a strong debut last week, recording 10 receptions for 116 yards and a touchdown against the Saints. His performance earned him the AFC Offensive Player of the Week award, securing him the captaincy for this week.

Dean led the Raiders with a team-high 12 tackles, including 11 solo tackles, and contributed to the game-winning forced fumble. He has also made a forced fumble in every fourth quarter of the season, demonstrating his consistency and impact.

Eichenberg's 22 special teams snaps were tied for the most on the team, with one assist on coverage teams. His contributions have been crucial for the Raiders' special teams unit.
