Raiders' 3-0 Start Defies Odds as Kubiak's System Transforms Franchise

The Las Vegas Raiders have achieved a perfect 3-0 start in the 2026 NFL season, matching their entire 2025 win total after finishing 3-14. Head coach Klint Kubiak, a former Super Bowl-winning assistant, has orchestrated a dramatic turnaround, leading the team to a +34 point differential and a fourth-best record in the league. Key factors include the return of tight end Brock Bowers, the efficiency of veteran quarterback Kirk Cousins, and a defensive unit that excels in late-game situations. While some analysts question the sustainability of this success due to small sample sizes, others view the structural changes as genuine indicators of a contender.

Bowers' return elevates Raiders to 3-0 despite persistent rushing struggles

The Las Vegas Raiders defeated the New Orleans Saints 35-27 on September 27, 2026, securing a 3-0 start. Tight end Brock Bowers returned from a meniscus surgery, recording 10 catches for 116 yards and a touchdown. While the offense flourished with Bowers back, the running game remained inconsistent, and the defense forced critical late-game turnovers to seal the victory.

Raiders List Bowers Questionable for Saints After Planned Practice Absence

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Brock Bowers is questionable for Sunday's game against the New Orleans Saints. Head coach Klint Kubiak confirmed Bowers missed Friday's practice as part of a planned injury management strategy, not due to a setback. Bowers, who missed the first two weeks with a knee injury, has been limited in recent practices. The Raiders are 2-0 without him, relying on Michael Mayer and a balanced offense. Kubiak indicated no pre-game workout will be used to determine Bowers' status, suggesting a decision may be made closer to kickoff.

Mayer to Start at TE as Bowers Misses Week 1 with Knee Injury

Raiders tight end Brock Bowers is ruled out for Week 1 vs. the Dolphins after a knee issue requiring a meniscus trim, despite Klint Kubiak’s initial optimism about a quick return; Michael Mayer will start at tight end in Week 1 and has surged into TE1 territory, especially since Mayer recently signed a three-year, $45 million extension. ESPN’s Adam Schefter has cast doubt on the timeline for Bowers’ return and full strength, so fantasy managers should monitor progress as Mayer steps into a central role.

Week 1 Injury Storm Tests NFL Depth as Bowers Out and Mahomes Eyes Return

Week 1 injuries are already testing teams: Raiders TE Brock Bowers will miss time after a meniscus trim, and Cowboys guard Tyler Smith landed on IR with a return designation. The slate features a mix of returns and questions—George Kittle and Nick Bosa are trending toward returns for the 49ers, while Rams star Aaron Donald isn’t traveling but Myles Garrett is expected to debut. Giants WR Malik Nabers appears set to play, Cardinals RB Jeremiyah Love is back, Raiders RB Ashton Jeanty is hopeful, and Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes is close to starting after his knee injury. Other notes include TreVeyon Henderson (Patriots), Ja’Marr Chase/Tee Higgins (Bengals), D’Andre Swift/Rome Odunze (Bears), and Nnamdi Madubuike/Zay Flowers (Ravens) as Week 1 injury/return stories to monitor.

Brock Bowers' Return Timeline Questioned as Camp Sources Drive 1–2 Week Projection

ESPN’s Adam Schefter said Brock Bowers’ 1–2 week absence projection is largely coming from people around him, and on The Pat McAfee Show he noted that players often downplay injuries and a two-week return may not mean full strength, casting doubt on the timeline and his future production. Bowers has knee issues dating to 2025, and with him out Michael Mayer will start in the meantime.

Bowers’ knee trim rattles Raiders’ Week 1 fantasy plans

Raiders tight end Brock Bowers underwent a meniscus trim in Dallas and is expected to miss about a game or two, complicating Las Vegas’ Week 1 plans as coach Klint Kubiak had said all players would be ready. Recovery timelines for a trim typically span four to six weeks, but the Raiders are hopeful he’ll return by Week 3, though timelines can vary. Fantasy managers facing this setback may turn to Michael Mayer as a potential replacement, given Bowers’ injury-plagued 2025 season and his role in the offense.

Raiders Score Valuable Reps in Joint Practice With Texans

The Las Vegas Raiders used their joint practice with the Houston Texans to push both sides, with Fernando Mendoza taking significant first-team reps and delivering several throws to Brock Bowers, while rookie Mike Washington Jr. showed burst on runs. Bowers also hauled in a red-zone TD, though Mendoza faced an interception in the red zone. The Raiders’ defense generated pressure from Crosby, Paye and others, and Quay Walker had an interception, with coach Klint Kubiak calling the session mature and productive as they prep for the next preseason game.
