What happened: Bowers underwent a meniscus trim Tuesday in Dallas, according to RapSheet, citing league sources. The procedure was also described in [the surgery update](https://www.reddit.com/r/nfl/comments/1wbwg7z/schefter_raiders_allpro_tight_end_brock_bowers/).

Why it matters: Las Vegas must open its season without an All-Pro tight end, leaving the remaining pass catchers to absorb his role.

What to watch: Watch for practice participation and the next game-status designation to clarify his return.
