Raiders tight end Brock Bowers has practiced on a limited basis while recovering from meniscus surgery, but his availability for Sunday's game at New Orleans remains uncertain. He missed the first two games, and his versatility could give Klint Kubiak more options.
At 6-foot-4 and 235 pounds, Bowers can line up at receiver, as an inline or split tight end, or in the backfield as a fullback. The article says his speed and route-running make him a difficult matchup, and notes he also contributes in pass protection and run blocking.
Las Vegas is 2-0 after opening the season without Bowers. Offensive coordinator Andrew Janocko said the team can use players in different positions to maximize their skills; quarterback Kirk Cousins said having Bowers back would put one of the team's best players on the field, but neither outlined a specific plan for his role.
