Las Vegas Raiders tight end Brock Bowers underwent meniscus trim surgery on Tuesday and will miss at least the team's season opener against the Dolphins, per ESPN reporting. According to Adam Schefter, Bowers sustained a minor injury during training camp that necessitated the procedure.

The meniscus trim is a less severe surgery than more extensive meniscus procedures, which are typically season-ending. ESPN reported that Bowers should miss "a game or two" after the operation, suggesting his absence could extend beyond Week 1, though the exact timeline remains unclear from available reporting.

Bowers, an All-Pro selection, is Las Vegas' top pass-catching target. His absence will impact the Raiders' offensive scheme to start the 2026 season.
