Las Vegas Raiders tight end Brock Bowers is expected to play Week 3 against the New Orleans Saints after missing the first two games of the season with a knee injury, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
The 23-year-old underwent a meniscus trim just prior to the start of the new campaign. He was expected to miss one-to-two games.
Bowers was named a first-team All-Pro as a rookie in 2024, when he hauled in 112 catches for 1,194 yards and five touchdowns. He managed 64 receptions, 680 yards, and seven scores last season despite being limited to 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.
