Bowers missed another practice Thursday and has not returned to the field since last week's knee procedure. That leaves his Week 2 availability materially uncertain.
Prepare a viable tight-end replacement now and wait for the Raiders' final designation before committing Bowers to a lineup.
Schefter and Rapoport reported that Bowers had a meniscus trim Tuesday after a knee injury was diagnosed last week. The report projects a short absence, but it puts the Raiders' primary tight end out of the immediate Week 1 outlook.
Remove Bowers from the short-term starting plan and watch the Raiders' final practice and game-status reporting before treating the one-to-two-game estimate as a firm return date.
