Overview
- Bowers was a full participant in Wednesday’s practice before the Raiders face the Jaguars, saying he is ready to play after three missed games.
- Head coach Pete Carroll said the tight end looks like he is at full speed and declared, “He’s back,” following strong sessions through the bye.
- ESPN reporting attributes Bowers’ early-season limitations to a left-knee PCL sprain with a bone bruise suffered in Week 1, which he initially played through from Weeks 2 to 4.
- The Raiders’ offense has struggled during his absence, with a 2-5 record and significant drops in passing production that raise the stakes for his potential return.
- Defenders Maxx Crosby and Adam Butler did not practice Wednesday with back issues, though Carroll said he expects both to play Sunday.
