Brock Bowers is expected to make his Raiders season debut Sunday at New Orleans, barring a setback, after missing the first two games following knee surgery. He is expected to have a major role, and it would be his first regular-season game with Kirk Cousins.
Second-round pick Jackson Powers-Johnson played the full game but allowed a sack as the Raiders’ offensive line struggled against the run. Third-rounder D.J. Glaze started at right tackle and played every snap for a second straight week. Fifth-rounder Tommy Eichenberg logged 24 defensive snaps (35%) and 85% of special-teams snaps, his second-highest career total, up from eight defensive snaps in Week 1. The Raiders used more base defense against the Chargers’ frequent runs.
Sixth-round pick Dylan Laube played eight offensive snaps and 85% of special teams, returning two kicks for 35 yards after two returns for 95 yards in Week 1. Las Vegas beat the Chargers 26-14 in Week 2.
