ALAMEDA, Calif. -- NaVorro Bowman is expected to play for the Oakland Raiders on Thursday night against the Kansas City Chiefs, three days after being signed to a one-year, $3 million contract.
The four-time All-Pro inside linebacker, who has endured devastating injuries to his left knee and left Achilles in 2014 and 2016, was released by the San Francisco 49ers on Friday.
"He's a veteran," Raiders coach Jack Del Rio said of Bowman on Wednesday. "I mean, he understands ball. We've not tried to install the entire playbook but specific game plan things and he's had a good week.
