Raiders' Michael Mayer: Back at practice
Mayer (nose) returned to practice Thursday, Sam Warren of The Athletic reports.
Mayer suffered a nose injury during Monday's session, but he's back at practice and thus slated to continue to work behind top TE Brock Bowers. Though Bowers will no doubt see heavy volume this coming season, Mayer also figures to make his mark in the two-TE formations the Raiders figure to utilize regularly, with their WR corps very much a work in progress.

Raiders' Michael Mayer: Not practicing Tuesday
Mayer (nose) isn't practicing Tuesday, Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com reports.
Mayer suffered a nose injury during Monday's practice, and while coach Klint Kubiak noted afterward that the tight end should be fine, he's not in uniform for Tuesday's session. Mayer thus falls into the day-to-day category in advance of the Raiders' Aug 13 preseason opener against the Cardinals.

Raiders' Michael Mayer: Hurts nose Monday
Mayer left practice early Monday with a nose injury, Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com reports.
While McFadden describes the tight end's issue as a "busted nose," coach Klint Kubiak noted after Monday's practice that Mayer should be fine. That said, it's possible the 2023 second-rounder's practice participation will be impacted some by the issue in the short term. When healthy, Mayer is set to work behind star tight end Brock Bowers, but with the Raiders' WR corps a work in progress, the team's offense could feature frequent two-TE formations, a context that may result in a degree of fantasy utility for Mayer in deeper formats.

Raiders' Michael Mayer: Could benefit from two-TE offense
Mayer is poised for a complementary role behind Brock Bowers in head coach Klint Kubiak's offense, which is expected to feature frequent two-tight end formations, Sam Warren of The Athletic reports.
Mayer enters the final year of his rookie contract with an opportunity to carve out the biggest role of his NFL career, per Jared Feinberg of SI.com. While Bowers remains the focal point of the passing game for new quarterbacks Kirk Cousins and Fernando Mendoza, Mayer's combination of in-line blocking and reliable short-area receiving makes him an ideal fit for Kubiak's outside-zone scheme and heavy personnel packages. If Las Vegas leans into an approach heavy on 12 personnel, Mayer could see consistent enough snaps to surpass the career-best 35-328-1 receiving line he recorded while suiting up for 13 regular-season games last year.
