Brock Bowers is expected to MISS the Raiders' Week 1 opener against the Miami Dolphins. So how does Klint Kubiak adjust his offense without its biggest weapon?

Bowers underwent a meniscus trim and is expected to miss a game or two. Meanwhile, there's much better news surrounding Ashton Jeanty, who returned to Raiders practice and appears to be trending toward playing in Week 1.

♟️ Klint Kubiak's adjustments: How the Raiders offense changes without its biggest weapon
💪 Michael Mayer's opportunity: Could he take over some of Bowers' responsibilities?

💥 Jeanty + Mike Washington Jr.: Why the Raiders may lean even harder on the rushing attack
🎯 Kirk Cousins: Why having the veteran QB becomes even more important without Bowers
🐬 Raiders vs. Dolphins: How Las Vegas can attack Miami without its top receiving weapon

Ashton Jeanty + Mike Washington Jr.: Can the running game become the identity of the offense?
Brock Bowers: How can Kubiak move his biggest weapon around to create mismatches?
The WR question: Who can step up and give Cousins another reliable weapon?
Maxx Crosby + the pass rush: Who generates pressure when teams key on Maxx?
Rob Leonard's defense: Expect more blitzes, disguises, and manufactured pressure?
Quay Walker + Nakobe Dean: An upgraded LB room, but are there still concerns in coverage?
The young secondary: What can we expect from the Raiders' new-look defensive backfield?
Raiders vs. Dolphins: An early look at the Week 1 matchup and why running — and stopping the run — could decide it.

The Raiders' preseason is officially over. Are they ready for the 2026 NFL season? Jesse Merrick and former Raiders wide receiver Ryan Hoag are LIVE following the Las Vegas Raiders' preseason finale against the San Francisco 49ers to break down everything that mattered from the final dress rehearsal before the regular season.

The biggest storyline? We got our most extended look yet at Kirk Cousins and the Raiders' first-team offense, with the starters playing two drives against San Francisco. What did Cousins show? How did the offensive line hold up? And after an entire training camp and preseason learning Klint Kubiak's offense, does this group look ready for Week 1?

We're also breaking down Fernando Mendoza's third NFL appearance. The No. 1 overall pick has now put three preseason games on tape, giving us our best body of work yet to evaluate where the rookie quarterback stands heading into his first regular season.

Plus, with final roster decisions looming, this was the last major opportunity for several Raiders fighting to make the 53-man roster.

QUESTION OF THE DAY: After everything you've seen throughout training camp and the preseason, how confident are you in the Raiders heading into the regular season on a scale of 1–10?

Drop your answer in the LIVE chat or comments and tell us why.

**HEADS UP**
My camera overheated, so the recording stopped as I was wrapping up the show.

Raiders running back Ashton Jeanty left practice Sunday with an apparent right leg injury, creating a major question for Las Vegas as the regular season approaches.

Jesse Merrick was at Raiders HQ for practice and breaks down exactly what he saw when Jeanty went down, what happened immediately afterward and what we know about the situation right now.

If Jeanty is forced to miss any time, what should the Raiders do at running back?

Fourth-round rookie Mike Washington Jr. has been one of the biggest standouts of Raiders Training Camp, so we break down whether the rookie could be ready for a larger role and what the rest of the Raiders' running back room looks like behind Jeanty.

Plus, there was plenty more to take away from Sunday's practice:

Fernando Mendoza throws two interceptions
Hezekiah Masses and Greedy Vance make plays in the secondary
Treydan Stukes works exclusively with the first-team defense
Kirk Cousins connects with Brock Bowers for the play of the day
Michael Mayer has one of his busiest practices of camp
Jackson Powers-Johnson returns as the right guard battle continues
Malcolm Koonce and Maxx Crosby generate pressure
More standouts and observations from Raiders Training Camp

QUESTION OF THE DAY:

What should the Raiders' plan be at running back if Jeanty has to miss time? Let me know what you think in the comments.
