Overview

  • ESPN's Adam Schefter reported Bowers, listed as doubtful after a limited Friday practice, is not expected to face Kansas City in Week 7.
  • Schefter added that Bowers has a good chance to return in Week 9 following Las Vegas' upcoming bye.
  • The tight end has been managing a left‑knee PCL sprain and deep bone bruise suffered in the season opener and is set to miss a third straight game.
  • Michael Mayer remains the primary tight end, coming off a 5‑catch, 50‑yard, 1‑TD performance in the Week 6 win over the Titans.
  • Wide receiver Jakobi Meyers is a game‑time decision with knee and toe issues, positioning Tre Tucker for expanded snaps as the struggling Raiders offense looks for help with Geno Smith under center.
