Bowser, a linebacker, is coming off the Physically Unable to Perform list, while linebacker Ojabo is activated off injured reserve.
Harbaugh did not say if Bowser or Ojabo will be ready to play Monday Night's game at the New Orleans Saints.
"They'll both be activated. They'll both be available," Harbaugh said. "I think Tyus will be ready to play for sure, and it kind of comes back to Tyus saying I am going. He has targeted this game, so we will see. David is a little different. We will see where he is in terms of being ready. He is possible for playing Monday.
