What happened: Dr. Daniel Cooper performed the procedure Tuesday in Dallas, league sources told Adam Schefter and @rapsheet. Bowers had been banged up during training camp.

Why it matters: The Las Vegas Raiders face an early-season stretch without an All-Pro tight end. Bowers ranked No. 60 on the 2026 NFL Top 100.

What to watch: Watch the Raiders' practice participation updates and game-status designations for his return.
