Tyus Bowser Fantasy

Baltimore Ravens linebacker Tyus Bowser (Achilles) has been activated from the injured reserve. The 27-year-old returned to practice on October 12th, so he has been getting back into game shape. Last season, Bowser led the team with sacks and tackles for loss before suffering a torn Achilles in Week 18. His return to the field should be a boost for the Ravens defense. The Baltimore linebacker group is getting stronger with Bowser back and recently acquired Roquan Smith joining the team. Bowser has a chance at playing in Week 9, but the team will likely wait and see how he feels during practice.

Baltimore Ravens linebacker Tyus Bowser (Achilles) has been placed on the reserve/PUP list. That means, Bowser will miss the first four weeks of the regular season. The 27-year-old suffered the injury during Week 18 of last season. Head coach John Harbaugh mentioned that Bowser should be ready for training camp, but clearly that didn't happen. This is certainly a blow to the Ravens defensive unit. Last season, Bowser finished with 59 tackles, eight tackles for loss, and seven sacks through 17 games. Fantasy managers shouldn't expect the Ravens defense to fall apart, but losing Bowser does hurt.

Baltimore Ravens outside linebacker Tyus Bowser (Achilles) tore his Achilles in the Jan. 9 regular season finale against the Pittsburgh Steelers, but head coach John Harbaugh thinks he'll be back for training camp next month. "I think Tyus will be back for the start of the season. I think Tyus will be back for training camp. That's my prediction. That's my timeline, so I'm going to stick with that," Harbaugh said back on Jan. 31. Bowser showed up for the start of the offseason program without a boot on his foot or an obvious limp, but he's still only about 5 1/2 months removed from surgery, and the timetable for Achilles returns has been anywhere from nine to 12 months. But other players have returned much earlier, and Bowser has a chance to be ready by Week 1. It would be huge for Baltimore's D, as Bowser is one of the best athletes on the team.
