Raiders Wednesday Week 2 injury report: 2 starters not practicing

Two key starters were missing from practice for the Raiders as they began practices for their Week 2 matchup with the Los Angeles Chargers.

The Oakland Raiders returned to action on Wednesday as they began preparing for their upcoming Week 2 game against the LA Chargers. However, the team took to the field without two starters. Tight End Brock Bowers and Cornerback Darien Porter were among the absentees.

Head coach Klint Kubiak indicated that both players will be considered "day-to-day." Bowers had a meniscus procedure last week, which led to his absence from the season opener against the Miami Dolphins on Sunday. Initially, the timeline for his recovery was estimated at 1-2 weeks, suggesting a potential return this week. Porter, on the other hand, left Sunday's game with a foot injury and was replaced by rookie Hezekiah Masses.

The status of both players will be closely monitored throughout the week. Meanwhile, the LA Chargers were without Wide Receiver Ladd McConkey (rib), Elijah Monden (hamstring), Guard/Tackle Trey Pipkins (knee), and Defensive Lineman Teair Tart (ankle) in their absence.
