From @NFLGameDay Kickoff: The #Raiders lost TE Brock Bowers (knee) for the opener, at least. https://t.co/5wnSCKYFXi

What happened: Ian Rapoport and Adam Schefter expect Bowers to miss one or two games. [NFL.com](https://amp.nfl.com/news/raiders-te-brock-bowers-knee-procedure-out-week-1) also attributes that estimate to both reporters.

Why it matters: Las Vegas will need its remaining tight ends and receivers to absorb the All-Pro's role in the passing game.

What to watch: Watch for Bowers' practice participation and the Raiders' availability updates ahead of Week 2.
