Brock Bowers News Makes Dolphins' Week 1 Task Easier
Brock Bowers underwent a meniscus trim and is expected to miss 1-2 games, leaving the Raiders without their top receiving threat.
On Tuesday, Las Vegas Raiders tight end Brock Bowers underwent a meniscus trim in Dallas with Dr. Daniel Cooper and is expected to miss "a game or two."
Bowers reportedly got "banged up" in camp, with the injury diagnosed last week; this marks a setback for the Raiders after he missed 5 games last season due to injury.
DraftKings Sportsbook shifted the spread for Sunday’s home game against the Miami Dolphins to a 3-point favorite, reflecting the significance of the injury for Las Vegas.
With Bowers sidelined, tight end Michael Mayer will replace him as the primary option for the Las Vegas Raiders, moving into a larger role for the offense.
The team faces a major AFC West battle against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 2, a contest impacted by the tight end's recovery schedule.
