Injury Update on Raiders' Brock Bowers Ahead of Week 2

The Las Vegas Raiders secured a 27-13 victory over the Miami Dolphins in Week 1 without star tight end Brock Bowers, who missed the game due to a knee injury requiring a meniscus trim.

Recent reports indicate that Bowers might be available for the Raiders' Week 2 matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers. NFL insider Dan Graziano noted that while Bowers' injury is not serious, the team is cautious and wants to ensure he is fully recovered before allowing him to play.

Bowers, the 13th overall pick in the 2024 draft, had a challenging previous season with knee issues, limiting him to 12 games where he recorded 64 receptions for 680 yards and seven touchdowns. The Raiders will face the New Orleans Saints on September 27 and the Kansas City Chiefs on October 4, with speculation that Bowers could return by Week 4.
