Brock Bowers undergoes meniscus trim surgery, uncertain return timeline
Summary

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Brock Bowers is recovering from a minor meniscus trim surgery following ongoing knee issues. Bowers had suffered a PCL injury and bone bruise in the previous season, limiting his availability. His camp initially projected a 1-2 week recovery, but analysts, including ESPN's Adam Schefter, suggest a longer timeline may be realistic. Bowers will miss the upcoming game against the Dolphins, with a potential return in late September or early October appearing more feasible.
