Raiders' Brock Bowers: Closing in on return to action
Head coach Klint Kubiak described Bowers (knee) as "very close" to returning after Sunday's 26-14 win over the Chargers, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Bowers has missed the first two games of the season, but the Raiders are off to a 2-0 start despite their star tight end's absence. He could be ready to return from a meniscus trim for Week 3 at New Orleans. Bowers' practice participation level during the week will provide an indication of his potential availability.

Raiders' Brock Bowers: Inactive again in Week 2
Bowers (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game at the Chargers.
Bowers underwent a meniscus trim in his left knee on Sept. 8, and while he'll miss the first two games of the campaign as a result, he did practice in a limited capacity Friday, and Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported Sunday morning that the stud tight end is likely to make his season debut Week 3 in New Orleans. In Bowers' continued absence, though, Michael Mayer will act as the primary TE for the Raiders.

Raiders' Brock Bowers: Trending toward Week 3 return
Bowers (knee), who is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Chargers, is expected to sit out Week 2 but appears likely to make his season debut Week 3 in New Orleans, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Bowers underwent a meniscus trim of his left knee Sept. 8 but appears to have bounced back well from the procedure and is progressing as expecting. The tight end was able to clear a major hurdle in the recovery process by returning to practice Friday, albeit as a limited participant. Michael Mayer is expected to operate as the Raiders' top tight end in Bowers' stead for a second straight game Sunday, but Bowers should be on track to play Week 3 so long as he can upgrade to full participation in practice by next Friday.

Raiders' Brock Bowers: Looks set to miss Sunday
Bowers (knee) will be listed as doubtful for Sunday's game at the Chargers, and Raiders coach Klint Kubiak said Friday that the tight end will be worked out pregame before a final decision is made, Sam Warren of The Athletic reports.
Kubiak added that he's optimistic about Bowers returning for Week 3 against the Saints. For this coming Sunday, it sounds highly unlikely, but the Raiders aren't ready Friday to shut the door on the possibility. They're scheduled for a 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff, and it remains to be seen if they'll actually take a final decision on Bowers down to the wire.

Raiders' Brock Bowers: Spotted at practice Friday
Bowers (knee) was seen during the open portion of Friday's practice, Sam Warren of The Athletic reports.
This marks Bowers' first notable on-field work since undergoing a meniscus trim in his left knee on Tuesday, Sept. 8. It's unclear if he'll do much more than take part in the team stretch and perhaps individual drills, but it's at least a sign of progress in his recovery. Ultimately, Friday's injury report will reveal if Bowers has a chance to play Sunday at the Chargers.

Raiders' Brock Bowers: Sits out practice again
Bowers (knee) was a non-participant at Thursday's practice, Anthony Galaviz of The Fresno Bee reports.
Since undergoing a meniscus trim in his left knee on Tuesday, Sept. 8, Bowers hasn't been able to practice in any capacity and sat out a Week 1 win against the Dolphins. He thus has just one more chance to mix into drills Friday before the Raiders potentially make a ruling on his status for Sunday's game at the Chargers. If Bowers ultimately can't go this weekend, Michael Mayer will be the primary beneficiary at tight end for Las Vegas.

Raiders' Brock Bowers: Remains out of practice
Bowers (knee) is not participating during the portion of Thursday's practice open to the media, Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com reports.
It was reported earlier in the week that Bowers has a chance to play Sunday against the Chargers after sitting out the Week 1 win over the Dolphins due to a meniscus trim in his knee just before the start of the season. Bowers' inability to practice in any capacity Wednesday or Thursday suggests he may be heading toward a second consecutive absence to begin the season, though a return to practice in at least some capacity Friday could create some optimism regarding the star tight end's status. Michael Mayer caught six of a team-high seven targets for 32 yards during Bowers' absence in the season opener.

Raiders' Brock Bowers: Week 2 return remains possible
The knee injury Bowers is recovering from "is not overly serious," and it's "possible" he will return in Week 2, Dan Graziano of ESPN.com reports.
Head coach Klint Kubiak said Monday that Bowers is considered day-to-day, and the latest report reaffirms an earlier one that indicated Bowers could miss only "a game or two." A better estimate of Bowers' availability for Week 2 will likely be able to be made after the Raiders release their first injury report of the week Wednesday.

Raiders' Brock Bowers: No practice Wednesday
Head coach Klint Kubiak said that Bowers (knee) won't practice Wednesday but hopes the tight end will be able to Thursday and/or Friday, Sam Warren of The Athletic reports.
Bowers is a little more than a week removed from undergoing a meniscus trim on his left knee, for which he sat out the Raiders' Week 1 win against the Dolphins this past Sunday. His next practice reps would mark his first since the surgery, so getting back on the field in some capacity this week would give him a chance to return to action Sunday at the Chargers. Another absence from Bowers, though, would allow Michael Mayer exclusive access to TE reps in the Raiders offense.

Raiders' Brock Bowers: Considered day-to-day
Raiders head coach Klint Kubiak labeled Bowers (knee) as day-to-day Monday, Sam Warren of The Athletic reports.
After Bowers underwent a meniscus trim procedure last Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reported that the star tight end expected to miss only "a game or two" before making his 2026 debut. Though a partial meniscectomy often entails a recovery period closer to one month, Bowers -- who sat out the Raiders' season-opening win over the Dolphins -- appears to be bouncing back well from his operation and looks like he could have a real chance of suiting up next Sunday against the Chargers. Per Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com, Kubiak said that he'll heed the advice of trainers in determining when Bowers will be ready to play, and the 23-year-old's activity in practices is also likely to be a factor in the decision. While Bowers was sidelined for Week 1, Michael Mayer stepped in as the Raiders' top tight end versus Miami and finished with six catches for 32 yards on seven targets.

Raiders' Brock Bowers: Walking unaided after missing Week 1 win
Bowers (knee) left the locker room after Sunday's 27-13 win over the Dolphins walking unaided with a sleeve on his left leg, Sam Warren of The Athletic reports.
Warren's encouraging postgame update on Bowers comes hours after Adam Schefter of ESPN reported that Bowers could be back as soon as Week 2 against the Chargers. The star tight end sat out Vegas' Week 1 win over the Dolphins after underdoing a meniscus trim Tuesday.

Raiders' Brock Bowers: Chance to return in Week 2
The Raiders believe Bowers (knee) has a chance to return to action Week 2 at the Chargers on Sunday, Sept. 20, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Bowers underwent a meniscus trim this past Tuesday that will sideline him for the season opener, but Schefter added that "there's a realistic chance" the standout tight end will sit out only Week 1 and then be active next weekend. He likely will need to mix into drills for multiple practices in a row to give Las Vegas' medical staff confidence that he'll be able to handle game action. In any case, Bowers will hand off most of the TE reps to Michael Mayer this Sunday.

Raiders' Brock Bowers: Coach hopes he'll be back soon
Raiders coach Klint Kubiak confirmed Friday that Bowers (knee) won't play Sunday against Miami, but Kubiak did say the tight end "will be back soon," per Levi Edwards of the Raiders' official site.
When asked if an absence of 1-to-2 games was an accurate expectation, Kubiak replied, "I'm not going to talk about timelines," per Sam Warren of The Athletic. All eyes will be on Bowers' practice participation (or lack thereof) next week. For now, the Raiders have Michael Mayer ticketed for a large role at tight end, with Ian Thomas and various WRs also in the mix to pick up some unexpected snaps in Bowers' absence this Sunday against the Dolphins.

Raiders' Brock Bowers: Sits out practice, set to miss time
Bowers (knee) remained a non-participant in Thursday's practice, Anthony Galaviz of The Fresno Bee reports.
Head coach Klint Kubiak has yet to officially rule Bowers out for Sunday's season opener versus the Dolphins, but the standout tight end is fully expected to be sidelined for Week 1 -- and likely, additional games beyond that -- after Adam Schefter of ESPN and Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported that Bowers underwent a meniscus trim procedure Tuesday. Though the previous report indicated that Bowers is expected to miss "a game or two," Schefter clarified Thursday in an appearance on "The Pat McAfee Show" that that timeline is coming from the tight end's camp and may be overly optimistic. For however long Bowers is sidelined, Michael Mayer is expected to take on an expanded role in the passing game as the Raiders' top tight end, and starting wideouts Tre Tucker and Jalen Nailor also will have clearer paths to elevated target counts.
