Overview

  • Bowers sat out Thursday and Friday with a listed knee injury after exiting Week 1, leaving his availability for Monday Night Football uncertain.
  • Pete Carroll said he expects Bowers to play, while the tight end said he is hoping to go, but beat reporters noted a knee sleeve and voiced doubts he will suit up.
  • Las Vegas releases its final injury report Saturday evening, and the extra day before a Monday game offers a narrow window for progress.
  • If Bowers is inactive, Michael Mayer is set to lead the tight end group, with coordinator Chip Kelly highlighting depth that includes Ian Thomas.
  • Guard Jackson Powers-Johnson was added Friday with a concussion and did not practice, Elandon Roberts was limited, and Chargers safety Derwin James welcomed a potential matchup with Bowers.
