What happened: The injury to Brock Bowers was diagnosed last week. He was listed as a non-participant in Wednesday’s practice.

Why it matters: The expected absence takes an All-Pro tight end out of the offense at the start of the season. Bowers is expected to miss at least the opener, according to [Ryan McFadden’s ESPN coverage](https://abc7.com/post/sources-brock-bowers-knee-miss-least-raiders-opener/19811909/).

What to watch: Watch subsequent practice participation and game-status designations for his return.
