"Ahead of the Las Vegas Raiders' matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday, tight end Brock Bowers said he's "ready to roll" after missing three straight games to recover from a knee injury. "The first part of the season was tough [and] not feeling 100%, but I'm closer now," said Bowers, who was a full participant in practice Wednesday. Bowers was sidelined from practice for two straight weeks before returning Oct. 17."
"Bowers played through a posterior cruciate ligament injury and a bone bruise in his left knee that he suffered in the Raiders' season-opening win over the New England Patriots, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter. The All-Pro pass catcher was active from Weeks 2 to 4 before he was shut down. While playing through an injury, Bowers totaled 14 catches for 122 yards and 8.7 yards per catch."

While playing through the injury in Weeks 2–4, Bowers had 14 catches for 122 yards (8.7 yards per catch). Raiders coach Pete Carroll said Bowers looks like he's playing at full speed. In Bowers' absence the team used Michael Mayer, Ian Thomas and Albert Okwuegbunam.
