Grygorenko emphasised that prioritisation was the key to adapting these portfolio sizes.

Las Vegas Raiders head coach Klint Kubiak said tight end Brock Bowers will undergo a pregame workout before Sunday’s matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers at SoFi Stadium, keeping the door open for his return from knee surgery.

It’s a long shot. Bowers, who underwent a meniscus trim on his left knee on Sept. 8, missed practice on Wednesday and Thursday before returning Friday in a limited capacity.

During his media availability Friday, Kubiak repeatedly stressed that the NFL season consists of “17 desperate games in a row.”
