Superstar tight end + meniscus procedure + missed first two games + back at limited practice + clear Week 3 game-day resolution

Brock Bowers may finally be ready to make his 2026 debut. The Raiders are 2-0 without their superstar tight end, and Bowers is getting closer to returning from knee surgery. Bowers underwent a meniscus trim before the season. Las Vegas held him out of both Week 1 and Week 2. He returned to limited practice work last Friday and was limited again Wednesday and Thursday this week as the Raiders prepare for New Orleans. The Raiders have been patient with their biggest offensive weapon. Week 3 could finally be the return.
