Brock Bowers limited in practice Wednesday

As expected, Las Vegas Raiders superstar tight end Brock Bowers will practice Wednesday as the team begins, in earnest, its preparations for Sunday's road game at the New Orleans Saints.

Bowers missed the first two games of the season, both Raiders' victories, after having knee surgery 15 days ago. Bowers was limited in practice Friday and worked out prior to the Chargers' game Sunday, but was inactivated Raiders' coach Klint Kubiak said after the game Bowers was "very close" to being ready to play. The plan since then was for Bowers to practice Wednesday.
