Brock Bowers officially active for Raiders-Saints

Tight end Brock Bowers is set for his first appearance of the 2026 season after recovering from a knee procedure that kept him sidelined for the opening two matchups of the campaign. The Las Vegas star was previously listed as questionable before receiving active status for the weekend showdown against the New Orleans Saints.

Meanwhile, New Orleans cornerback Martin Emerson will miss the contest after also carrying a questionable designation into game day.

Both franchises finalized their lists of inactive players ahead of kickoff. Las Vegas will proceed without quarterback Aidan O’Connell, cornerback Darrell Luter Jr., safety Treydan Stukes, safety Dalton Johnson, guard Bryce Cabeldue, and defensive tackle JJ Pegues.

The opposing Saints sideline sits short of Emerson alongside quarterback Zach Wilson, receiver Barion Brown, defensive lineman Christen Miller, tight end Treyton Welch, defensive tackle John Ridgeway, and edge rusher Tyree Wilson.
