The Las Vegas Raiders will have to finish Sunday's game at the New Orleans Saints without second-year wide receiver Jack Bech.

The 2025 second-round draft pick was ruled out early in the third quarter Sunday with a forearm injury. It is not immediately known how severe the injury is or what Bech's timeline to return will be.

Bech, a TCU product, was getting the third most snaps in the Raiders' wide-receiving rotation. Bech didn't have any catches in the game before leaving with the injury. Bech had talked about how much this game meant to him. His brother, Tiger Bech, was killed in aa terrorist attack in New Orleans on New Year's Day, 2025.

Bech has five catches for 48 yards this season and he had his first career touchdown this season .Bech had 20 receptions for 224 yards as a rookie.

NFL Media reported Sunday afternoon Bech will go on the injured reserve with a chance to return later this season. Perhaps the Raiders could promote receiver Cody White from the practice squad. He has been elevated all three games and can't playa again unless he is promoted to the 53-man roster.
