Brock Bowers Returns to Full Practice: Is a Game-Changing Comeback Imminent?

After sitting out the last three games nursing a pesky knee injury, tight end Brock Bowers is back in full swing, ready to light up the field again. The guy’s been through the wringer—playing hurt isn’t easy—and you could tell he wasn’t quite himself early in the season. But now? He’s turning the corner. He jumped back into practice this Wednesday, marking a big step after limited reps on October 17 and solid sessions during last week’s off period. Head coach Pete Carroll couldn’t hide his excitement, noting Bowers’ standout Monday practice where he basically stole the spotlight. To put it frankly, Bowers battled through a tough PCL injury with a bone bruise staring him down since the season opener, yet he still pulled in 14 catches for 122 yards before taking a pause to heal properly. It hasn’t been fun, he admitted, but the past is behind him—now the focus is on what’s ahead, and honestly, that’s what makes this comeback story worth watching. LEARN MORE.

Tight end Brock Bowers is “ready to roll” after missing the past three games with a knee injury. He was a full participant in Wednesday’s practice.

“The first part of the season was tough [and] not feeling 100 percent, but I’m closer now,” Bowers said, via Ryan McFadden of ESPN.

He returned to practice as a limited participant on Oct. 17 and participated in both of the team’s practices during the off week last week.

“He’s back,” Raiders coach Pete Carroll said. “Last week, he looked good every day, particularly good on the Monday practice, and he kind of stole the show a little bit. So, we’re thrilled to have him back.”

After the season-opening win over the Patriots, an MRI showed Bowers injured the posterior cruciate ligament in his left knee in addition to having a bone bruise, according to ESPN. He played through the injury for three weeks but made only 14 catches for 122 yards before being shut down to heal.

“It sucked, to be honest,” Bowers said. “But it’s in the past. I’m excited to get back out there.”
