Brock Bowers (knee) returns to practice Friday

Brock Bowers

LV Tight End #89

Player Stats

Raiders TE Brock Bowers (knee) returned to practice Friday.

The team has yet to release an official injury designation for the talented tight end, but his return to the practice field leaves the door open for a potential return to the game-day roster. Head coach Klint Kubiak continues to be adamant that Bowers would not miss extended time, something that seemed ridiculous throughout the week but now gains traction with Bowers returning to practice. Fantasy managers will want to wait until an official designation is passed by the team before solidifying their plans for Week 2. Bowers would immediately return to a top-tier TE1 against the Chargers, if active.

Brock Bowers

LV Tight End #89

Raiders TE Brock Bowers (knee) was limited on Wednesday.

That makes two consecutive limited sessions for Bowers, who resumed practicing on Friday last week. The Raiders’ star tight end and No. 1 pass catcher is on track to play this week against the Saints and can be treated as an elite TE1, as usual, assuming this is the case. It would be great to see Bowers resume practicing in full tomorrow. Stay tuned.

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport said to “expect” Brock Bowers (knee) to play in Week 3 against the Saints.

Rapoport wrote that “there is a good chance” Bowers returns this week as the caption for his NFL Network segment. He used stronger language in the actual segment, telling viewers to “expect” Bowers to be on the field when the Raiders travel to New Orleans for a date with the Saints this week. The Raiders’ top pass catcher should be treated as an elite TE1 upon his return.
Brock Bowers

LV Tight End #89

Raiders HC Klint Kubiak said Brock Bowers (knee) will practice this week.

Bowers returned to the practice field last Friday and logged a limited session. The star tight end will likely have a chance to log multiple practices this week and should have a realistic shot at suiting up against the Saints. Kubiak said on Sunday that Bowers was “very close” to dressing on game day, and a Week 3 return has always felt like the unofficial deadline if his recovery goes well. Bowers’ status will be one to monitor throughout the week, but it sounds like he is trending in the right direction at the start of this week.

LV Tight End #89

Raiders coach Klint Kubiak said TE Brock Bowers (knee) is “close, very close” to returning.

Kubiak adds that Bowers “looks great.” The Raiders’ star tight end practiced in a limited capacity on Friday and went through pre-game warmups today to see if he could play, despite being listed as doubtful. Nothing is set in stone, and re-injuries are possible, but Kubiak’s comments are very encouraging. Bowers seemingly has a real chance to make his 2026 debut, playing in Kubiak’s offense for the very first time, in Week 3 against the Saints. He should be treated as an elite TE1 if active.

Brock Bowers (knee) will not play in Week 2 against the Chargers.

Bowers returned to practice on Friday but was listed as doubtful. He is eyeing a Week 3 return. Michael Mayer will draw the start again this week. Also inactive for the Raiders are CB Darien Porter, QB Aidan O’Connell, S Tristin McCollum, S Dalton Johnson, G Bryce Cabeldue, and DT JJ Pegues,

Raiders TE Brock Bowers (knee) is doubtful for Week 2 against the Chargers.

Bowers returned to the practice field Friday but apparently needs more time before he returns from his meniscectomy surgery performed less than two weeks ago. Michael Mayer will once again serve as the primary tight end after ranking second on the team in route rate while leading the team in targets (seven) against the Dolphins in Week 1. Continue to start Mayer as a locked-in TE1 for as long as Bowers remains sidelined.

Brock Bowers (knee) was not participating in the media-viewing portion of practice on Thursday.

Every once in a while we’ll get a surprise limited session out of one of these, but it sure looks like Bowers is trending towards questionable-at-best on Friday’s final injury report. The star tight end is trying to come back from a meniscus trim. If he does not play, Michael Mayer will likely pick up the majority of the slack at tight end and be a reasonable streamer TE for Week 2 against the Chargers.

Raiders TE Brock Bowers (knee) did not participate in Wednesday’s practice.

Bowers opens up Week 2 with a DNP designation, still recovering from a meniscus trim he had just over a week ago. Head coach Klint Kubiak said Bowers is “day-to-day” on Monday, but that may be more week-to-week as the 23-year-old has yet to return to practice. Michael Mayer is a solid high-end TE2 in his place. Bowers still has a chance to practice the rest of this week, but his currently on the wrong side of questionable for Week 2 against the Chargers.
Brock Bowers

LV Tight End #89

ESPN’s Dan Graziano reports Brock Bowers’ knee injury is not “overly serious” and it’s possible he plays in Week 2 against the Chargers.

The fact that Bowers isn’t expected to practice today suggests Week 2 is not on the table. Bowers underwent a meniscus trim just before the start of the season and missed Week 1. According to Graziano’s sources, “The team felt he could have played last week if necessary.” That would have been an absurdly quick turnaround for a meniscus trim procedure, though Bowers is already known as a player who tries to push through serious injuries. Graziano added that the latest he thinks Bowers will play is Week 4, which is good news for fantasy managers. Michael Mayer will continue to start in his place until Bowers returns.

LV Tight End #89

Raiders HC Klint Kubiak said Brock Bowers (knee) is “day to day.”

It’s Week 2 and we legitimately have no idea what to believe about Brock Bowers’ health. We’ll be monitoring the practices, of course. Adam Schefter reported that the Raiders believe there’s a “realistic chance” that Bowers will only miss one game after a meniscus trim. We’ll see how it goes. Michael Mayer’s newfound fantasy value, as well as Ashton Jeanty’s pass-catching prowess, are likely tied to what the answer is as well as the Raiders prepare for the Chargers.

Cardinals QB Jacoby Brissett (hip) was a full practice participant on Wednesday.

Brissett seemingly dealt with an injury in the Cardinals’ Week 2 loss against the Seahawks, but played through it. He opens the week listed with a hip injury but was a full practice participant. Though Brissett seems to have a hip issue ailing him, it does not seem like it will keep him from playing. The veteran remains in the low-end QB2 conversation for Week 3 against the 49ers.

49ers WR Demarcus Robinson (ankle) did not participate in Wednesday’s practice.

Robinson suffered an ankle injury in the 49ers’ Week 2 win over the Dolphins. The initial diagnosis was that the veteran would miss some time and his DNP designation Wednesday indicates just that. With Mike Evans (hip) also not practicing, the 49ers’ receiving corps is getting thinner than it already was.

Seahawks WR Cooper Kupp (back) was limited in Wednesday’s practice.

Kupp also opened last week with a limited practice due to the back injury before getting in two full practices and playing in Week 2. His limited designation Wednesday is likely a continuation of veteran workload management for his back; fantasy managers should not be surprised to see the 33-year-old limited on Wednesdays this season.

Commanders RB Kaytron Allen (hip) was limited in Wednesday’s practice.

Allen popped up on the injury report as a limited participant due to a hip injury. The rookie has seen limited touches as the Commanders’ third-string back and is still buried in the depth chart. Also limited was WR Jaylin Lane (groin). Lane is likely to play as he played through the injury in Week 2. Allen’s status is up in the air; practice reports from later in the week will paint a clearer picture.

Okonkwo did not play in Week 2 due to a hamstring injury and now opens this week not practicing. The 27-year-old suffered the injury in Week 1 and has yet to return to practice since then. The Commanders’ tight end depth chart is thin and neither John Bates or Ben Sinnott are worth rostering with Jayden Daniels out.

Darnold was officially listed as a limited practice participant on Wednesday, returning to practice for the first time since his opening day injury. He split first-team reps with Drew Lock and did some throwing off to the side. The Seahawks will make a decision Friday on Darnold’s game status for Week 3 but the 29-year-old has an outside chance of returning against the Commanders.

Oliver suffered a hip injury during warmups of the Bills’ Week 2 win over the Lions. He did not play in the game and now starts out Week 3 not practice. Oliver could certainly still go this week against the Chargers but he will likely need at least a limited practice to be in consideration to play.

He briefly left the Bills’ Week 2 game against the Lions due to the ankle, but returned and finished the game. Coleman’s status for Week 3 is now in jeopardy; with DJ Moore (shoulder) also on the injury report, the Bills’ wide receiver groups may look slim come Sunday against the Chargers.
