Raiders tight end Michael Mayer will not participate in this weekend's game against the Cleveland Browns due to personal reasons, having missed practices on Thursday and Friday. His absence is significant as he had been a part of the team's passing game, running routes on 43% of pass plays and receiving seven targets over the first three weeks. This situation also opens up opportunities for tight end Brock Bowers and further impacts the team with wide receiver Davante Adams also out.

• Michael Mayer's absence could lead to increased targets for Brock Bowers.
• With Davante Adams also out, the Raiders' offense may struggle.
