Bowers Out, Mayer Steps Up | Las Vegas Raiders News

Brock Bowers’ meniscus trim surgery sidelines him for a couple of games, opening the door for Michael Mayer to step into the starting tight end role as Klint Kubiak makes his debut. While Bowers’ return timeline is uncertain, analysts expect him to be heavily targeted when healthy—similar to Jaxon Smith-Njigba’s usage in Seattle. The Raiders are preparing to adapt, hoping for a quick Bowers comeback and a strong push from Mayer in the meantime.
