As expected, Las Vegas Raiders superstar tight end Brock Bowers is active and he will make his 2026 regular-season debut Sunday at the New Orleans Saints.
He was listed as questionable on the injury report Friday. He didn’t practice Friday, but he was limited in practice both Wednesday and Thursday. Raiders coach Klint Kubiak said Friday keeping Bowers out of practice Friday was part of the team’s plan and he said he is optimistic Bowers will play Sunday.
Bowers missed the first two games of the season,
both Raiders’ victories, after having knee surgery 19 days ago.
Meanwhile, starting defensive end Kwity Paye is active as well. He was questionable after being out Thursday with an illness and being limited Friday.
Rookie starting safety Treydan Stukes has been in the concussion protocol all week and he is out Sunday. Isaiah Pola-Mao, who Stukes beat out in training camp, is in line to start.
Number three quarterback Aidan O’Connell is out Sunday. He announced his father has died and he has been away from the team since Sept. 17
