Overview
- The Raiders officially designated Brock Bowers as doubtful for Sunday’s game against the Chargers after he logged limited practice reps following a recent meniscus procedure.
- Las Vegas promoted tight end Chris Myarick and wide receiver Cody White from the practice squad to provide depth behind Michael Mayer.
- Michael Mayer, who led the team in targets in Week 1, is expected to assume an expanded receiving and blocking role while Bowers remains day‑to‑day.
- Coach Klint Kubiak said the club will take a week‑to‑week approach and plan a pregame test to determine any last‑minute availability for Bowers, with optimism for a possible return in Week 3.
- Bowers’ meniscus repair follows prior knee issues that have affected his availability, so the Raiders are prioritizing cautious management to protect his long‑term health and the team’s offensive structure.
