Overview
- The Raiders officially listed Brock Bowers inactive for their Week 2 game on Sunday after he logged a limited practice Friday and completed a pregame workout at SoFi Stadium.
- Bowers underwent a left-knee meniscus trim on Sept. 8, a procedure that kept him out of the season opener and has now cost him a second straight game.
- Las Vegas elevated tight end Chris Myarick and wide receiver Cody White from the practice squad for depth before the game.
- Michael Mayer started and carried an expanded tight end role while Bowers recovered, continuing to be a primary receiving and blocking option.
- Coach Klint Kubiak and multiple NFL reporters expressed cautious optimism that Bowers could return in Week 3 at New Orleans if he progresses in practice without any setbacks, reflecting a short-term, protection-first approach to his recovery.
