tight end Brock Bowers undergoing a "meniscus trim" on Tuesday; Meniscus injuries aren't that devastating in the short-term, compared to an ACL or any of the other knee ligaments. However, a meniscus issue can get tricky when it comes to the long-term health of the knee.

Bowers out Week 1 with meniscus trim; long-term knee health a concern.

Tight end underwent a meniscus trim on Tuesday ahead of Week 1 against Miami, sidelining him for the matchup. The source notes meniscus injuries aren't devastating short-term but can create long-term knee complications, especially concerning given Bowers' prior PCL injury in the same knee last year. The source recommends caution in his return timeline and suggests placing him on IR (designated to return) to avoid rushing him back like the coaching staff did previously.
