Bowers remained sidelined Thursday after undergoing a meniscus trim procedure Tuesday, the Raiders tight end is expected to miss Sunday's season opener against the Dolphins and potentially Week 2 as well, with current reports indicating a one-to-two-game absence as he recovers from surgery

The All-Pro TE got "banged up" in camp, leading to a knee procedure (meniscus trim) done the Tuesday before the season opener. We predict he avoids a stint on IR/DFR, likely returning after Week 2, with a trim being the best-case scenario

Recovered from a left PCL injury and bone bruise that caused him to miss three games and ultimately landed him on injured reserve late in the 2025 season. Bowers participated fully throughout OTAs and mandatory minicamp with no reported limitations and is expected to be a full participant for training camp, with no remaining concerns surrounding the knee.

Has been placed on injured reserve with his knee injury that has plagued him all year, he is done for the rest of the season

Didn't practice on Wednesday with the knee injury he's been dealing with, he was seen standing on the sideline in shorts and reports this past weekend suggest he is unlikely to return for their Week 7 game

Ruled out of their Week 6 game, Coach Carroll said he isn't quite ready yet

Didn't practice on Wednesday due to the knee injury

Was a limited participant on Wednesday due to his knee, however he downgraded from a full participant all last week, we expect him to still play on Sunday

There's a chance he'll be held out of Monday Night Football with a PCL strain, the team says he'll play but it would not surprise us here at Sports Injury Central if he does sit out
