Brock Bowers offered this reminder: He’s a brilliant player

During a victorious Week 3 road matchup against the New Orleans Saints, rookie tight end Brock Bowers made a stellar debut for the Las Vegas Raiders by catching ten passes for 116 yards and a touchdown under coordinator Klint Kubiak. Fellow draft picks also experienced mixed fortunes during the contest, as second-rounder Jackson Powers-Johnson sustained a groin injury late in the fourth quarter, third-rounder D.J.

Glaze protected the pocket cleanly without allowing a single pressure at right tackle, and sixth-rounder Dylan Laube fumbled a kick return before being rescued by his teammates.

Looking ahead to their upcoming Sunday home game against the Kansas City Chiefs, the Raiders hope to have Powers-Johnson back on the field despite his missed practices, while contributions from other rookies like Tommy Eichenberg will likely fluctuate based on opponent strategy. Meanwhile, standout offensive tackles across the league such as Lane Johnson, Garett Bolles, Brian O'Neill, Joe Alt, and Charles Cross continue to post impressive pass block win rates.
