Brock Bowers returns for Raiders against Saints with wide-receiver snaps

Raiders tight end Brock Bowers returned against New Orleans in Week 3 after missing two games following a meniscus trim. He took multiple snaps at outside receiver and one in the backfield; The Athletic’s Ted Nguyen noted Bowers beat a corner for a first down on third down.

As a rookie, Bowers caught 112 passes, which the article identifies as an NFL record for a rookie. Klint Kubiak is the Raiders’ new head coach this season; the report does not establish whether Bowers’ outside alignment will continue.
