What the Experts Are Saying
It will be important to monitor Bowers’ availability before Monday night. After sustaining a knee injury in the second half, Bowers was immediately listed as Questionable to return. There have not been a lot of details released about this injury, only specifying that it is a new injury. Bowers has come out and said he feels fine, but it’s never fun to trust players’ evaluations. After practicing Saturday, Raiders HC Pete Carroll also said he expects Bowers to play Monday. If he plays, you have to play him in all formats. However, if the reports are concerning, grabbing Michael Mayer as a last-second pivot is a good option for Monday.
