Raiders List Brock Bowers as Questionable for MNF as Carroll Signals Confidence

After two missed practices, he logged a limited Saturday in a knee brace, setting up a late call on his status with Michael Mayer poised to fill in if necessary.

Overview

  • Bowers tweaked his knee late in Week 1 after an awkward hit, briefly returned for one snap, then did not finish the game following a 103‑yard outing.
  • He was a non-participant Thursday and Friday before returning Saturday as limited, and the team officially tagged him questionable for Monday night.
  • Pete Carroll told reporters Bowers looked “terrific” and practiced great on Saturday, indicating he expects the tight end to play against the Chargers.
  • Bowers said he felt fine wearing the brace but stopped short of guaranteeing he will suit up, keeping a game-time decision in play.
  • Fantasy outlets project a high likelihood he plays — FantasyPros’ model pegs it at 95% — while Mayer is the recommended pivot if Bowers is inactive at the 90‑minute inactives deadline.
