Overview
- Bowers missed Thursday and Friday practices and was photographed watching in street clothes with a sleeve on his left knee.
- He is officially listed as questionable, and coach Pete Carroll said there was no setback, framing the absences as rest and stating he expects Bowers to play.
- Reporting remains mixed, with CBS Sports citing continued optimism about his availability as others warn the late‑week DNPs are a troubling sign.
- Bowers has been playing through a Week 1 knee injury and his output has dipped to 19 catches for 225 yards over four games after a 103‑yard opener.
- If Bowers and Mayer are unavailable, depth options include Ian Thomas and Carter Runyon, and the 1–3 Raiders already lost LT Kolton Miller to injured reserve this week.
