Brock Bowers Practicing in Week 3, Aiming to Play Sunday

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Brock Bowers was "very close" to playing in Week 2 after undergoing a meniscus trim procedure on September 8. Head coach Klint Kubiak announced that Bowers will practice this week and is aiming to make his 2026 debut Sunday against the Saints if he experiences no setbacks. In his absence, Michael Mayer has started and caught nine passes for 55 yards over the first two games.
