Brock Bowers "Ready to Roll" After Full Practice, Returns from PCL and Bone Bruise

AutoDraft Pro AI

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Brock Bowers was a full participant in Wednesday's practice and is "ready to roll" after missing the past three games with a knee injury. An MRI after the season-opening win revealed a posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) injury and a bone bruise in his left knee, which he played through for three weeks before being shut down. Bowers, who returned to limited practice on October 17th, stated he's "closer" to 100% but acknowledged the injury "sucked." Coach Pete Carroll noted Bowers "stole the show" in a recent practice. While the PCL and bone bruise might not fully heal until the offseason, an active Bowers is considered a must-start in fantasy, returning for a favorable matchup against the Jaguars' 26th-ranked TE defense. His return will also impact teammate Jakobi Meyers' target volume.
