The Raiders tight end is being called "day-to-day" despite undergoing knee surgery prior to Week 1. The procedure was a partial meniscectomy, meaning the damage area of his meniscus was removed and not repaired. With the problematic tissue excised, recovery focuses on treating associated symptoms and regaining range of motion or strength deficits. Athletes often bounce back in four to six weeks, but Bowers is already seeing improvement, suggesting he will be back quicker than expected.

All-Pro Raiders tight end underwent meniscus-trimming knee surgery and is considered day-to-day in recovery per coach Klint Kubiak; status for Week 2 against the Chargers remains unclear, though the update is encouraging. Bowers is a cornerstone of the Raiders' passing game and was a two-time Pro Bowler and first-time All-Pro as a rookie in 2024 (112 catches, 1,194 yards, 5 TDs); he was also a Pro Bowler in 2025 despite being limited to 12 games due to a prior PCL sprain and bone bruise in his left knee.

Bowers was a surprise addition to the Raiders' Week 1 injury report when he underwent a meniscus trim procedure on Tuesday, Sept. 8, and was kept out of his team's season-opening win over the Dolphins. Initial reports indicated he could miss 'a game or two' following the procedure. ESPN reported that the Raiders are optimistic about Bowers' recovery and that 'a potential return next week is within the realm of possibility'; the tight end could be active for Week 2's clash with the Chargers, though his status remains uncertain.
