Bowers tripped Brisbane's Jessica Wuetschner in the dying stages of Fremantle's upset 11-point loss to the Lions on Saturday.
The incident was not deemed serious enough to warrant a suspension, and she can accept a reprimand with an early guilty plea.
Bowers currently leads the AFLW's coaches' association award, and is one of the favourites to take out the league's best-and-fairest after finishing runner-up last year.
