Las Vegas Raiders coach Klint Kubiak confirmed that the team will evaluate Brock Bowers ahead of the game against the Los Angeles Chargers at SoFi Stadium on September 20. Bowers, coming back from knee surgery, still has a chance to play.

However, the odds are slim. Bowers did not practice on September 16 and 17 after his knee procedure on September 8. He only returned to practice on September 18 in a limited capacity.

Bowers Still a Game-Time Question

During his media session, Kubiak emphasized that the NFL season consists of “17 desperate games in a row.”

He added, “We have this one game in front of our face, and we’re focused on that.” 

Kubiak addressed the upcoming challenge against the Chargers, a team like the Cowboys and Broncos looking to avoid an 0-2 start after a tough Week 1 loss.

In a brief press conference, Kubiak dismissed the overconfidence narrative.

Jeanty Prepared for Action

He further emphasized the need for maturity among players, especially with Ashton Jeanty fully participating in practice after recovering from an ankle injury ahead of Week 1.

Jeanty’s impressive performance against the Dolphins showcased his readiness for the upcoming game.

Strong Offensive Line Performance

The Raiders’ offensive line showcased its restructuring success by not allowing any sacks in Week 1. Facing a tougher challenge against the Chargers’ formidable front, the team aims to replicate its earlier success.

With a strong defensive performance in Week 1, the Raiders are confident in their abilities against the Chargers, who struggled in their previous game.
