Raiders list Brock Bowers questionable for Week 3

Key Points:

• Darren Waller has participated in three consecutive Raiders practices but has been limited in recent sessions as he recovers from meniscectomy surgery, with a potential Week 3 return against the Saints.
• Raiders head coach Klint Kubiak described Waller as "very close" to playing and "looking great," suggesting optimism for his debut in the 2026 season and first time in Kubiak’s offense.
• If Waller plays in Week 3, he should be considered an elite tight end (TE1) for fantasy purposes, while Michael Mayer will continue to start and lead the position if Waller remains sidelined.
• Waller’s exact participation level and official injury designation remain uncertain, so fantasy managers are advised to monitor updates closely before finalizing their Week 2 plans.
• Other Raiders inactive players for the upcoming game include CB Darien Porter, QB Aidan O’Connell, S Tristin McCollum, S Dalton Johnson, G Bryce Cabeldue, and DT JJ Pegues.
