Las Vegas Raiders tight end Brock Bowers underwent a meniscus trim procedure on Tuesday in Dallas. The injury, which was diagnosed last week after Bowers sustained a minor hit during training camp, will sideline him for at least the season opener. According to league sources, the recovery timeline for the Pro Bowl tight end is expected to span one or two games. This injury is noted as less severe than the meniscus repair previously undergone by teammate Maxx Crosby. Bowers, who recorded 64 receptions for 680 yards and seven touchdowns last season, remains a primary target for the Raiders' offense. The team will look to adjust its personnel grouping while awaiting his return to the active roster.
