Raiders TE Brock Bowers expected to miss time after meniscus trim, per report
Las Vegas Raiders tight end Brock Bowers is expected to miss one to two games following a meniscus trim surgery. Michael Mayer is set to step into the starting lineup for the team's upcoming games against the Dolphins and Chargers.
Why it matters
Bowers is a key offensive player for the Raiders, and his absence significantly impacts the team's performance in the early weeks of the NFL season.
The Las Vegas Raiders will be without Brock Bowers for their season opener against the Miami Dolphins . The Pro Bowl tight end is expected to miss one to two games after undergoing a meniscus trim in Dallas on Tuesday, according to ESPN . The injury reportedly occurred in training camp, and surgery was scheduled shortly thereafter.
In addition to Sunday's game against the Dolphins, Bowers may also miss the Raiders' Week 2 showdown against the Los Angeles Chargers on "Sunday Night Football." His first game could possibly be the Raiders' Week 3 matchup with the Saints in New Orleans.
