Overview

• Las Vegas listed the All-Pro tight end as questionable after a limited Wednesday followed by no practice on Thursday and Friday, a stretch ESPN reporters highlighted as a negative sign.
• Photos showed Bowers in street clothes with a sleeve on his left knee while observing Friday’s session, confirming his non-participation.
• CBS Sports’ Matt Zenitz reported continued optimism that Bowers will play Sunday, and coach Pete Carroll told Silver and Black Pride he expects Bowers to go after resting him late in the week.
• Michael Mayer is also questionable with a concussion after limited work in a non-contact jersey, leaving Ian Thomas, Carter Runyon and practice-squad option Albert Okwuegbunam as depth if needed.
• Bowers has played through the Week 1 knee issue with reduced production, totaling 19 catches for 225 yards and no touchdowns through four games.
