During the Bears 2010 mini camp, head coach Lovie Smith announced that Bowman would replace Charles Tillman as the team’s left side cornerback. In a typical Cover 2 defense, team’s will usually place their best cornerback on the left side of their defensive formations.

In training camp 2009, coaches were very impressed with Bowman’s abilities and play on the practice field. Despite missing most of the preseason with a hamstring injury, Bowman was expected to be a key part of the Bears secondary in 2009 with teammates Nathan Vasher and Charles Tillman.

The Chicago Bears selected in the fifth round of the 2008 NFL Draft. He made the team’s opening day roster but was relegated to the practice squad to make room for guard Dan Buenning, who was acquired in a trade. The Bears signed Bowman off the practice squad in week seven, after their top three cornerbacks were ruled out of a game against the Minnesota Vikings due to injuries. Bowman played a crucial role in the Bears victory over the Vikings by recovering a fumbled punt in the endzone for a touchdown. Bowman sustained an injury in the fourth quarter, which should have left him sidelined for the remainder of the game, but he insisted on returning due to the Bears shallow depth at the cornerback position. He recorded his first career interception upon returning, which also prevented the Vikings from engineering a last second touchdown drive. Bowman required surgery to repair the injury he sustained during the game, and was placed on the team’s injury reserve for the remainder of the season. His efforts during the week merited him the “NFC Special Teams Player of the Week” Award.

Bowman was a sociology major and earned his degree in December 2007. He is married and has three sons.

Bowman had to redshirt the 2006 season due to torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee on the third day of fall practice and missed the season.
