    Bowers signed with the Dolphins' practice squad Thursday.

  • Bengals' Nick Bowers: Earns future deal

    The Bengals signed Bowers to a reserve/future contract Tuesday.

    Bowers spent the entire regular season on the Bengals' practice squad. He was elevated for the first time during Cincinnati's divisional-round win over Buffalo, but he didn't play any snaps. With his new contract, the undrafted tight end out of Penn State will get to stick around the organization and have a chance to compete for a larger role next season.

  • Nick Bowers: Moves back to practice squad

    Bowers reverted to the Bengals' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

    Bowers has spent the entire season on the practice squad and was elevated for the first time ahead of Sunday's divisional-round win over Buffalo. The 26-year-old tight end ultimately was ruled inactive, and he's unlikely to see any action in this coming Sunday's AFC Championship Game at Kansas City, barring any injuries to the tight ends on Cincinnati's active roster. Bowers still has yet to record a catch in his career.

  • Bengals' Nick Bowers: Joining active roster for Sunday

    Cincinnati elevated Bowers from its practice squad Saturday ahead of Sunday's divisional-round matchup at Buffalo, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

    Bowers has yet to play a snap this season after joining the Bengals' practice squad back in September. The 26-year-old tight end would probably see the field only if one of Hayden Hurst, Mitchell Wilcox or Devin Asiasi were to get injured.

  • Raiders' Nick Bowers: Activated from IR

    Bowers (neck) has been activated from IR in advance of Monday's game against the Browns.

    The tight end has been on IR since Oct. 23, but the team will now have 21 days to either activate him or leave him inactive for the rest of the season.

    The Raiders placed Bowers (neck) on injured reserve Saturday.

    Bowers didn't practice at all this week and had previously been ruled out for Week 7, but he will now be sidelined for at least three weeks with his move to IR.

  • Raiders' Nick Bowers: Won't play Week 7

    Bowers (neck) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup with the Eagles, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.

    Bowers didn't practice at all this week, so his status for Sunday shouldn't come as a surprise. The 25-year-old tight end has played mainly special teams during the two contests he has been active, so his absence shouldn't affect the Raiders' offensive rotations.
