Brock Bowers had a meniscus trim in Dallas and will miss Sunday against the Miami Dolphins. Klint Kubiak's Week 1 plan just lost its engine — and the thin Raiders wide receiver room is impossible to hide. Scotty Branson breaks down the Bowers timeline (trim vs. repair), $8.2 million in new cap space from Quay Walker and Jaylen Nailor, Ashton Jeanty returning to practice, Michael Mayer's snap jump, why Fernando Mendoza is still not the Week 1 answer, and the keys to beating Miami at Allegiant. Plus Chris Perkins of the South Florida Sun Sentinel on Jeff Hafley, Malik Willis, and a Dolphins roster that's thin at receiver too. Prediction: Raiders 20, Dolphins 13. Also on 101.5 K-Dawn in Las Vegas — Saturday at 4 PM this week (Dodgers preempt the usual 5 PM slot). Season 9 is back on Vegas radio. BLEAV Podcast Network. Subscribe wherever you get your podcasts.

Regular season week is finally here, and Scott Gulbransen opens with the two storylines Raider Nation can't stop arguing about. Kirk Cousins is officially the Week 1 starter, but Scott reads between the lines of head coach Klint Kubiak's "he's earned it" comment to explain why that's a football decision, not a philosophical one about Fernando Mendoza's future. Then it's the Ashton Jeanty question everybody's asking: two-plus weeks removed from his August 23 ankle sprain, still without a practice rep, but hearing surprisingly upbeat language from the front office. Scott breaks down the gap between what's being said publicly and what's actually shown up on the practice field, and points to one roster decision that tells you more than any quote does. In this episode: Kubiak's exact quote naming Cousins the Week 1 starter and why Scott thinks it's being over-read as a long-term stance on Mendoza, the case for and against playing Mendoza sooner rather than later, Scott's updated Mendoza timeline (now more likely Week 7 or 8 than after the bye), a full timeline of Jeanty's ankle injury through GM John Spytek's September 1 comments, why the Raiders keeping only three running backs on the 53-man roster is the real signal to watch, rookie defensive end Kyron Crawford's season-ending Achilles injury, a shoutout to depth signing Patrick Johnson, and a note on Allegiant Stadium's newly approved $75 million north entry upgrade. Scott also previews Saturday's radio premiere on KDWN 101.5 FM in Las Vegas (moved up to 4 PM this week only, streaming on the Audacy app), which includes an interview with longtime Dolphins beat writer Chris Perkins ahead of Sunday's opener.
