Bowman (Achilles) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Steelers, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
Bowman is still being limited in practice as he recovers from the Achilles tear he sustained in November. The safety is not quite ready to get back on the field, but if he keeps stringing together practices, he may be able to suit up for the Falcons' Week 2 showdown with the Panthers.
