Raiders Clear Brock Bowers for Week 9 Return vs. Jaguars

Jacksonville adjusts its plan to account for the tight end’s full-speed deployment across multiple alignments.

Overview

  • The official injury report listed Bowers with no designation after full practices, making him expected to play today at Allegiant Stadium.
  • Bowers injured his left knee in Week 1, tried to play through it, then missed three games before the Week 8 bye.
  • Jaguars coach Liam Coen said the defense will locate No. 89 on every snap as the Raiders move him inline, in the slot and out wide.
  • Jacksonville’s linebackers Devin Lloyd and Foye Oluokun form a top coverage tandem that has challenged opposing tight ends this season.
  • Las Vegas recently added veteran receiver Tyler Lockett, supplying Geno Smith another proven target as Bowers reenters the offense.
