Ogunbowale, a 32-year-old veteran running back on the practice squad, has 22 career kick returns for 424 yards but has not returned a kick since the 2024 season (one for 12 yards). His age and lack of recent return experience make him an unlikely candidate for regular-season return duties despite his historical production.

Ogunbowale, a veteran practice-squad addition to the Raiders backfield, brings the skillsets required to operate in Klint Kubiak's offense, which demands running backs be effective route runners, receivers, and pass protectors. The system heavily utilizes pre-snap motion and formation shifts that position running backs as perimeter receivers or in the slot, requiring high-volume target involvement and complex pass protection responsibilities.
