Raiders TE Brock Bowers (knee) was not seen practicing on Friday.

12 September 2025

Bowers instead stood off to the side, again wearing a black sleeve on his left leg. The young tight end is talented enough that he probably does not need to practice in order to play, but we would have liked to have seen him practicing in some capacity today. Saints TE Juwan Johnson and Browns TE Harold Fannin Jr. were likely already nabbed off waivers this week. If they remain available, pick them up immediately. Raiders backup TE Michael Mayer is TE1-viable if Bowers cannot play on Monday night. Mayer caught 4-of-4 targets for 38 yards in Week 1.
