Las Vegas Raiders tight end Brock Bowers has been listed as doubtful for Sunday’s Week 2 game against the Los Angeles Chargers, according to Yahoo Sports.

Bowers missed the Raiders’ season opener against the Miami Dolphins after suffering a knee injury and undergoing meniscus surgery. He did not participate in practice on Wednesday or Thursday before returning as a limited participant on Friday.

The doubtful designation means Bowers is unlikely to play, although it does not confirm that he has been ruled out. The available information does not include a final game-day status.

The Raiders have elevated tight end Chris Myarick and wide receiver Cody White from their practice squad ahead of the game. If Bowers is unavailable, Michael Mayer could receive more opportunities in the passing game.

Las Vegas enters the scheduled 20 September game with a 1–0 record. The Raiders are due to face the Chargers at 4:05 p.m. ET.
