Las Vegas Raiders tight end Brock Bowers will miss a "game or two" after undergoing a meniscus trim shortly before the start of the season, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter and Ian Rapoport.

Bowers will miss his team's season opener against the Miami Dolphins and may miss the Sept. 20 road matchup at the Los Angeles Chargers.

From a fantasy standpoint, here's a look at four potential waiver wire picks if teams need a replacement for Bowers, including the Miami Dolphins' Greg Dulcich, the Houston Texans' Dalton Schultz, the Minnesota Vikings' T.J. Hockenson, the New Orleans Saints' Juwan Johnson and the Raiders' Michael Mayer.
