Brock Bowers Returns to Raiders Practice – Is a Game-Changing Comeback on the Horizon?

Brock Bowers, the electrifying tight end for the Raiders, looks set to lace up for the Monday night clash against the Chargers after a scare from his knee injury last Sunday. It’s been a nail-biter watching him miss the past couple of days’ practices, but today he’s back on the field, showing signs that he might just be ready to roll. Pete Carroll isn’t taking any chances—he’s gearing up like Bowers will suit up, and the guy himself is cautiously optimistic, admitting he’s not quite sure but definitely hoping to get out there. Considering last season’s jaw-dropping rookie numbers and that blazing start with over a hundred yards caught in Week One, the Raiders—and frankly anyone who appreciates a game-changer—are holding their breath. This could be a pivotal moment, and I’m here for every second of it. LEARN MORE

Raiders tight end Brock Bowers is trending in the right direction to play on Monday night against the Chargers.

Bowers, who suffered a knee injury in the Raiders’ season opener on Sunday, is back on the practice field today after missing the last two days.

Raiders coach Pete Carroll said he’s preparing as if he’ll have Bowers. Bowers told reporters yesterday that he hopes to play but isn’t sure if he’ll be able to.

Last year Bowers had one of the best rookie seasons for a tight end in NFL history, and in Week One he picked up right where he left off with five catches for 103 yards.
