Brock Bowers is the centerpiece of Kubiak's offense and a high-efficiency weapon. In 2024, he set an NFL rookie record with 112 catches. In 2025, despite an injury-shortened season, he posted 64 receptions, 680 yards, and seven touchdowns. His efficiency metrics are elite: on plays in which Bowers was directly involved, the Raiders generated approximately 0.57 EPA per play with a 56.3% success rate—substantially higher than Saquon Barkley's 0.13 EPA per play and 44.1% success rate on direct opportunities. His alignment versatility and matchup power are difficult to replace.

Brock Bowers underwent meniscus trim surgery Tuesday in Dallas after a training camp injury that was not diagnosed until the following week.

The timeline and severity remain unclear due to Kubiak's evasive public statements; he initially assured reporters Wednesday that Bowers would be ready for Sunday despite the procedure already having taken place. Kubiak declined to confirm the reported one-to-two-game absence timeline.
