The Las Vegas Raiders were hoping that they could get Brock Bowers back around this time after the procedure on his knee before the start of the season. As of now, it looks like he'll be suiting up against the New Orleans Saints, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler.

Head coach Klint Kubiak said this week he was optimistic about Bowers’ return, and the Raiders did not elevate a tight end like in previous weeks,” Fowler wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
