Las Vegas Raiders tight end Brock Bowers is expected to make his season-debut in Week 3 against the New Orleans Saints after missing the first two games with a knee injury, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports.
The 23-year-old underwent a meniscus trim just prior to the start of the 2026 season. He was expected to miss one-to-two games.
Bowers was a first-team All-Pro as rookie in 2024, hauling in 112 receptions for 1,194 yards and five touchdowns. He managed 64 receptions for 680 yards and seven touchdowns last season despite playing in just 12 games due to a knee injury.
The Raiders are off to a surprising 2-0 start despite missing their top pass-catcher, having earned wins over the Miami Dolphins and Los Angeles Chargers.
