Brock Bowers Likely Out For Week 2 As Well

Thursday, September 10, 6:25 AM

Las Vegas Raiders star tight end Brock Bowers reportedly had a mensiscus trim surgery done in Dallas and according to NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport he could miss Week 2. "Out the opener, probably out week 2 and then we will see after that," Rapoport said on Good Morning Football. Rapoport did note that the fact that it was a meniscus trim rather than a meniscus repair is a promising sign as he says the trim surgeries are measured in weeks rather than months for meniscus repairs. Bowers is an elite tight end so his fantasy managers don't want to hear the news of his absence. But if he can keep it at just a two-week absence it will be manageable and will avoid potential disaster. But now it does sound like Bowers is unlikely for Week 2 as well.

Cade Stover Avoids ACL Damage

Wednesday, January 21, 8:44 PM

Houston Texans tight end Cade Stover's (knee) MRI exam showed no damage to his ACL, a league source told Aaron Wilson of KPRC2 Sports. Stover was unable to make much happen after fellow tight end Dalton Schultz (calf) left the Divisional Round loss to the New England Patriots before getting hurt himself in the fourth quarter. The 25-year-old caught one of his three targets for only two yards. The good news is that Stover should be a full-go for training camp in the summer and for Week 1 of the regular season in the fall. In his second year in the league, the former fourth-rounder caught just 12 passes for 76 yards and no touchdowns on 16 targets in nine regular-season games. As long as Schultz is healthy going into the start of the season, Stover won't be fantasy relevant. He had a 15-133-1 line in 15 games in 2024 in his rookie campaign.
