Overview
- Bowers said Saturday that he is back to full health and is practicing at full speed during Raiders OTAs, reporting he feels “100 percent” after offseason rehab.
- His 2025 season was limited by a knee bone bruise and a PCL sprain but he did not require offseason surgery and focused on preventative work and fundamentals to stay available.
- Head coach Klint Kubiak and offensive coordinator Andrew Janocko have praised Bowers and signaled plans to create looks that get him the ball more often as a primary weapon.
- Bowers is building early rapport with veteran QB Kirk Cousins and rookie Fernando Mendoza, giving both quarterbacks a reliable matchup solution as the offense is installed.
- While his full-speed return is the key development, the Raiders will use mandatory minicamp and training camp to determine his exact workload, target share, and long-term durability.
