Bowers available as Raiders and Chiefs face confirmed offensive-line absences

Brock Bowers has no game designation for Sunday's Raiders-Chiefs matchup after a limited Friday practice with a knee injury. Las Vegas ruled guard Jackson Powers-Johnson out with a groin injury, creating a confirmed offensive-line absence as the two 3-0 teams meet at Allegiant Stadium.

Bowers appeared on Friday's practice report after not being listed Wednesday or Thursday. Las Vegas gave him no game designation. Reporter Ryan McFadden's Friday post independently confirms that the tight end is available for Sunday.

Bowers missed the first two games of the season. In his return against New Orleans, he caught 10 passes for 116 yards and a touchdown. The performance earned him AFC Offensive Player of the Week honors, and Las Vegas named him one of its captains for the Chiefs game.

Powers-Johnson missed all three practice sessions before being ruled out. Las Vegas has not named a replacement in the final injury report. Ashton Jeanty practiced fully throughout the week with an ankle injury and has no game designation; receiver Cody White was limited Friday with an ankle injury but also has no designation.

Backup quarterback Aidan O'Connell remains questionable after missing the practice week for a personal matter unrelated to injury.

Kansas City ruled tackle Josh Simmons out with a back injury after three missed practices. Patrick Mahomes, Rashee Rice and Chris Jones completed full Friday practices and carry no game designations. Cornerback L'Jarius Sneed moved from limited participation Wednesday and Thursday to full participation Friday.

The game starts Sunday, October 4, at 4:25 p.m. Eastern. Both teams will play without a listed offensive lineman, while the Raiders retain Bowers for the unbeaten divisional matchup.
