Bowers Out for Raiders Opener | Las Vegas Raiders News

The Raiders face a major hurdle heading into their season opener: star tight end Brock Bowers is sidelined for Week One against the Dolphins due to injury. A dominant rookie last year with over 1,000 yards and five touchdowns, Bowers’ absence shakes up the offense, forcing Michael Mayer into a bigger role. Despite a knee setback limiting him to 12 games last season, Bowers remains a Pro Bowl-caliber talent. The team’s goal is to have him ready for Week Two against the Chargers on September 20th — meaning fans will miss his impact in the home opener at Allegiant Stadium.
