I get the feeling that Bowers re-injured his knee either during or shortly after the first preseason game...Marcus has a theory that the procedure actually happened shortly after the 49ers game...That timeline lines up better with the idea that he'll only have to miss 'a game or two'.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalInjury

Bowers likely re-injured knee in early preseason; procedure timing unclear but expected to miss 1–2 games.

Tight end likely re-injured his knee during or shortly after the first preseason game (Aug. 13 vs. Cardinals, where he played just one snap despite the starting offense getting a full 10-play drive); social media videos four days later showed him being ginger with the knee. Colleague Marcus Johnson theorizes the meniscus procedure happened shortly after the 49ers preseason game rather than the Tuesday before the season opener, which would align better with the expectation he'll miss 'a game or two.' The source notes skepticism about the official timeline, as it's unlikely a player can return to NFL action 12–19 days after knee surgery, especially given this is the same knee injured last year and Bowers is a key part of the organization's long-term plan.
