Raiders Expect Brock Bowers Jakobi Meyers Return After Bye Week

The Las Vegas Raiders are optimistic about the return of key offensive players tight end Brock Bowers and wide receiver Jakobi Meyers following their bye week. Both players have been sidelined due to injuries, with Bowers dealing with a knee issue sustained in Week 1 and Meyers managing knee and toe injuries. Head coach Pete Carroll confirmed that both Bowers and Meyers should be ready to play in Week 9 against the Jacksonville Jaguars, which could significantly boost the Raiders' offense after a scoreless loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. Bowers had been playing through his injury before being rested for recovery, and Meyers was close to playing against the Chiefs but ultimately missed the game. Additionally, defensive end Maxx Crosby, who also left the Chiefs game early with a knee injury, is expected to return after the bye. The Raiders hope that these returns will improve their performance moving forward in the 2025 NFL season.
