Zay Jones gave himself 24 hours to get over the final moments of Sunday's loss to the Carolina Panthers, when a potential game-winning touchdown pass glanced off his fingertips and fell to the ground. It looks as if it will take a whole lot longer to fix the Buffalo Bills' passing attack, with a new-look receiving group that has stalled to open the season. After finishing 30th in the league in passing in 2016 (189.8 yards per game), the Bills are in a similar spot to begin this season.

The Buffalo Bills have concerns about the status of defensive tackle Marcell Dareus heading into Sunday's game against the Denver Broncos, Bills coach Sean McDermott said. Dareus suffered an ankle injury in the first quarter of Sunday's 9-3 loss to Carolina. Dareus was considered one of the top defensive tackles in the league before signing a six-year, $96 million contract extension before the start of the 2015 season but has struggled on the field since then.

The Carolina Panthers are likely to be without Greg Olsen for up to eight weeks after he required surgery on a broken foot on Monday. Tight end Olsen sustained the injury during the 9-3 win over the Buffalo Bills on Sunday, which moved the Panthers to 2-0 for the season. Olsen was initially reported as probable to return, but the Panthers changed that status to begin the second half when the 32-year-old returned to the sideline on crutches, wearing a protective boot on his right foot.

The Dallas Cowboys' worth has risen to $4.8billion, making them the NFL's most valuable franchise for the 11th straight year, according to Forbes' annual rankings released on Monday. Five years ago, the Cowboys were the only team in the league worth more than $2bn, but now, Forbes has reported that the average NFL franchise is worth $2.5bn, up eight per cent from last year. All but five of the NFL's 32 teams are worth at least $2bn, while the Buffalo Bills are last on that list, valued at $1.6bn.

Olsen suffered a broken right foot against the Buffalo Bills in Week 2, but he should be back after six games. Carolina Panthers tight end Greg Olsen broke his right foot in a Week 2 matchup against the Buffalo Bills. Olsen was placed on injured reserve on Tuesday, but he could return.

Cam Newton is still looking for his mojo. The Panthers may be 2-0 this season, but the former league MVP is struggling to find his touch on passes after missing significant practice time in training camp and playing only one possession in the preseason while recovering from a partially torn rotator cuff. For the second consecutive week, Newton overthrew a receiver on a would-be touchdown pass in Carolina's 9-3 win over the Buffalo Bills on Sunday.

Carolina Panthers tight end Greg Olsen confirmed he broke his foot during his team's 9-3 win over the Buffalo Bills in the NFL on Sunday. The 32-year-old veteran was initially reported as probable to return, but the Panthers changed that status to begin the second half when Olsen returned to the sideline on crutches and wearing a walking boot on his right foot. Panthers coach Ron Rivera said Olsen will see a doctor on Monday to determine whether he needs surgery.

1. I’m not sure how well this offense can operate without Greg Olsen, who broke his foot in the first half and did not return to the game. Last season Olsen became the first tight end in NFL history with three consecutive 1,000 receiving yard seasons and, no matter what the statistics may bear, he’s been Cam Newton’s No. 1 receiving option since Steve Smith was shown the door. A great pass-catcher and average run-blocker, Olsen is replaced by Ed Dickson, who is neither of those things.
