The Las Vegas Raiders haven’t officially ruled out tight end Brock Bowers for Sunday’s game against the Chargers, but all signs point to him missing his second consecutive game. Bowers was listed as doubtful to play despite practicing on Friday for the first time since his meniscus surgery. That’s a gut punch for an offense trying to find its rhythm early in the season.
Raiders Scramble for Tight End Depth
To bolster their tight end depth, the Raiders made a move on Saturday, elevating Chris Myarick from the practice squad. Myarick isn’t new to the game action, he actually played last Sunday and got snaps on both offense and special teams. With Bowers likely out, the load falls to Michael Mayer and Ian Thomas, who are the other tight ends currently on the roster. It really shows you how quickly a team can find itself thin at a crucial position.
Who Else Got The Call-Up?
It wasn’t just Myarick getting the nod. The Raiders also elevated wide receiver Cody White for Sunday’s contest. This kind of last-minute shuffling hints at a team trying to patch holes ahead of a tough division matchup. For the Raiders, going into Sunday against the Chargers without a fully healthy Bowers means their offensive game plan is going to be tested big time, and the spotlight is squarely on Myarick, Mayer, and Thomas to step up.
