Geno Smith will have to make do without Meyers, who has emerged as a solid pass catcher in 2025. He has secured 329 yards through six games thus far.
There has been plenty of chatter regarding Meyers and the Raiders. The star receiver sought a trade before the season began, but the front office did not grant that request. This has led many to believe he could end up being a trade chip by the deadline.
Las Vegas is currently 2-4 on the season, but their chance to make the postseason is nowhere near dead yet. The team can rally and turnt things around, which is a big reason why they would not consider trading one of their most important players.
Either way, Meyers will not suit up against the Chiefs in an important divisional showdown. The Raiders need all the help they can get with this surging Kansas City team.
With Meyers and Bowers out, Smith will rely on Tre Tucker, Ashton Jeanty, Michael Meyer, and Dont'e Thornton Jr. to get the offense going.
