Brock Bowers Misses Raiders Practice as Pete Carroll Voices Optimism for Week 2

Final availability hinges on weekend practice participation before the Chargers game.

Overview

  • Bowers was listed as a non-participant on Thursday and observed stretches without a helmet, according to reporter Ryan McFadden.
  • Pete Carroll said Bowers and linebacker Elandon Roberts "don't think they can't play" and indicated he expects both to practice before Monday.
  • Bowers told reporters he is hopeful to face the Chargers but is not yet certain he will play.
  • Roberts, who left the opener with an elbow injury, also did not practice on Thursday as the team monitors his status.
  • If Bowers is unavailable, Michael Mayer would handle most tight end snaps, with Tommy Eichenberg in line for more work at linebacker if Roberts sits.
