Brock Bowers will return to training on Wednesday

We have some positive news from the Raiders regarding an injury to one of their key offensive players.

Head coach Antonio Pierce told reporters at his press conference that rookie tight end Brock Bowers will practice on Wednesday and is “ready to go.”

Bowers is dealing with a foot injury. Pierce recently said he expected Bowers to be fine in Week 1.

Las Vegas selected Bowers with the 13th overall pick in the spring. He is expected to be a linchpin of the team’s offense, along with receiver Davante Adams. The Raiders could also use a two-tight end set, as the club also has 2023 second-round pick Michael Mayer.

Pierce also indicated that linebacker Tommy Eichenberg will return after being sidelined with a leg injury.

The Raiders will release their first injury report of the season later Wednesday afternoon.
