Raiders tight end Brock Bowers returns from knee injury against Saints
Anonymous
Raiders tight end Brock Bowers returned in Week 3 against the New Orleans Saints after missing the first two games following a meniscus trim on his left knee. He had been listed as questionable after limited practices and a planned Friday absence. In his return, Las Vegas used the 6-foot-4 playmaker at outside wide receiver and in the backfield, as coach Klint Kubiak deployed him in different roles. Michael Mayer filled in at tight end during Bowers’ absence as the Raiders opened the season 2-0.
