Brock Bowers Returns as 2-0 Raiders Head to New Orleans
Episode 1778
Thursday, 24 September, 2026
The Las Vegas Raiders are 2-0 after a 26-14 win over the Chargers at SoFi Stadium, the franchise's first win in LA with fans in the building since leaving in 2021. Now Brock Bowers is back at practice ahead of Sunday's Week 3 road game against the New Orleans Saints. Scott Gulbransen breaks down what Bowers' return from a meniscus trim means for Kirk Cousins and the offense, and why his snap count will tell you more than the injury report. Scott also answers the pushback on his wide receiver take. Tre Tucker had his best game of the season and Cody White scored on both of his catches, but the Raiders sit 18th in passing yards and the room ranked 31st in the preseason. One good Sunday doesn't fix the depth problem. The story nobody's talking about is Rob Leonard's defense. It's first in the NFL in EPA per play, tied for the league lead with eight sacks, hasn't allowed a fourth-quarter point and forces a turnover on about one of every five opponent drives. Kwity Paye, Nakobe Dean and Quay Walker are a big reason why. Then the Saints preview. Tyler Shough is completing 79% of his passes without turning it over, Chris Olave is a problem, and Alvin Kamara and Travis Etienne give New Orleans a real two-back rotation. The weak spot is a thin Saints secondary, and that's where Bowers comes in. Scott makes his pick with the Saints favored by 3.5.
