Bowers Out, Jeanty In for Raiders | Las Vegas Raiders News

The Raiders face a high-stakes opener against the Dolphins, desperate to end a playoff drought since 2021. With just three wins last season and four the year before, they’re counting on a strong start — but a major blow came when star tight end Brock Bowers was sidelined for the game after knee surgery. Michael Mayer steps in, with Ian Thomas and new additions Cody White and Chris Myarick providing depth. While Bowers may return by Week Two, quarterback Kirk Cousins now faces an even tougher challenge without their top playmaker. The good news? Running back Ashton Jeanty is healthy and ready to shoulder more carries, potentially exploiting Miami’s shaky run defense. This game could be the turning point the Raiders have been waiting for.
