Brock Bowers Stars With 116 Yards and TD in Return From Surgery

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Brock Bowers made a dominant 2026 debut following Sept. 9 meniscus surgery, catching 10 of 12 targets for 116 yards and a touchdown in a 35-27 win over New Orleans. Bowers lined up across the formation—in the slot, wide, in-line, and in the backfield—capping his performance with a crucial 4-yard fourth-quarter touchdown catch from Kirk Cousins to help secure Las Vegas's 3-0 start.
