Las Vegas Raiders rookie tight end Michael Mayer missed Sunday and Wednesday's practices, but head coach Josh McDaniels said he was out because of normal "bumps and bruises" of camp. That said, there is no cause for concern as of now. The 22-year-old Notre Dame product will compete with Austin Hooper to be the primary pass-catching tight end for new Raiders quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo. He could be worth stashing as a backup tight end in 12-team formats.
