Finally some good news.
The Las Vegas Raiders have been crossing their fingers and hoping for the best with tight end Brock Bowers and his knee injury. And the latest update is positive.
Bowers was back at practice on Saturday.

He had missed practice on Thursday and Friday, so the trend line was bad, but now it seems like there’s a real chance Bowers plays against the Chargers on Monday Night Football.
Bowers is coming off a 103-yard opening week as the Raiders beat the Patriots. That was despite missing a bunch of snaps early for personnel reasons and then missing the end of the game with his injury.
The Raiders do have a solid No. 2 tight end, Michael Mayer. But Vegas also enjoys playing some two-TE sets.

Bowers will still likely be a game-time decision, throwing a wrench into fantasy football plans.
But the Raiders needed this kind of news to have their best chance of keeping up with Justin Herbert and the Chargers on Monday.
Bowers might play, which is better than it seemed.
