Reporters present for the open portion of the session said Bowers was seen stretching and performing light warm‑up drills alongside defensive end Maxx Crosby, confirming his return to the practice field.
Because the majority of the Raiders’ practice is conducted behind closed doors, the team has not yet disclosed how many snaps Bowers completed; officials will release his injury status later in the day via the league’s official injury report.
The same injury report will also indicate whether the Raiders will list Bowers—or any other player—as questionable, doubtful or out for the upcoming Sunday matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers.
While a single practice may not be sufficient for Bowers to be ready for his regular‑season debut, his appearance signals that a full return to game action could be on the near horizon.
