Good morning, Chargers fans!
On Wednesday, multiple NFL insider reported that Raiders tight end Brock Bowers is expected to miss “at least a game or two” following a procedure to clean up his meniscus. With the Chargers hosting the Raiders in Week Two, it sure sounds like they’ll avoid having to game plan against one of the league’s most dynamic players, regardless of position.
In his place, the Raiders will still have Michael Mayer who is more than serviceable as a starter for Kirk Cousins and the offense.
And now for today’s links.
