nbcsports.com • • sports
Key Points:
- The Raiders expect running back Ashton Jeanty to play against the Dolphins this Sunday but will be without tight end Brock Bowers due to a meniscus trim surgery.
- Bowers, who injured his knee during training camp, is expected to miss one or two games following the procedure performed on Tuesday.
- Bowers had played through a PCL injury last season but ended on injured reserve, making this new knee injury a tough setback for the start of the 2026 season.
- The Raiders will face the Chargers on the road in Week 2 after hosting the Dolphins, with Bowers’s absence potentially impacting quarterback Kirk Cousins’s offensive options.
- Other tight ends on the roster include Michael Mayer and Ian Thomas, while wide receiver depth features Tre Tucker, Jack Bech, Jalen Nailor, Dareke Young, and rookie Malik Benson.
