The Las Vegas Raiders stand to lose a primary receiving option as tight end Brock Bowers is set to miss a game or two following a meniscus trim on his knee. NBC Sports, NFL.com and CBS Sports confirm the procedure and the short‑term absence, while ESPN adds that the opener is likely affected.

The reports do not specify which exact games will be missed, leaving the duration open. Without Bowers, the Raiders’ passing attack loses a versatile blocker‑receiver, potentially shifting targets to other tight ends and receivers early in the season.

The team’s next games, including the season opener against the Denver Broncos, will reveal how the loss is managed. Updates will follow as medical assessments are released.
