Raiders tight end Brock Bowers to miss games after meniscus surgery

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Brock Bowers is expected to miss one or two games following a meniscus trim procedure performed on Tuesday. The team announced the medical update after Bowers missed a scheduled practice session on Wednesday. The injury was diagnosed last week, requiring the All-Pro to undergo surgery in Dallas. Bowers is officially sidelined for the team’s upcoming season opener against the Miami Dolphins. While the team hopes for a quick recovery, his status for the subsequent Week 2 road matchup against the Chargers remains uncertain. In his absence, the Raiders will rely on tight ends Michael Mayer and Ian Thomas to fill the position, while offensive target distribution may shift toward players like Jalen Nailor and Ashton Jeanty.
