Cowboys aren't contenders, and what we learned in Sunday’s Week 3 games

FOX Sports' NFL experts break down what we learned from Sunday's NFL action and what it means for every team.

SEPTEMBER 23

Brock Bowers - Limited production in Week 3 Bowers recorded three receptions on four targets for 41 yards in Sunday's 36-22 loss to the Panthers.

Impact The Raiders struggled to get their offense moving consistently, which perhaps explains Bowers' surprising lack of involvement. He wasn't targeted until seven minutes were remaining in the second quarter, though he did still manage to record an impressive 21-yard catch and run for his longest gain of the day. Bowers has already shown the ability to excel as a pro as this was his worst performance as a pro, though his results will likely remain inconsistent due to the Raiders' offense.

Davante Adams - Quiet in loss Adams recorded four receptions on nine targets for 40 yards in Sunday's 36-22 loss to the Panthers.

Impact Adams remained Gardner Minshew's favorite target, as both Tre Tucker and Jakobi Meyers had their stat lines padded in garbage time by Aidan O'Connell. Nevertheless, Adams' struggles due to quarterback play are worth noting, as he now has fewer than 60 yards in two of three games to begin the season. His Week 2 performance makes clear that he can still deliver splash performances, but his results are very likely to remain inconsistent.

SEPTEMBER 23

Maxx Crosby - Has high ankle sprain Crosby emerged from Sunday's 36-22 loss to the Panthers with a high ankle sprain, Tashan Reed of The Athletic reports.

Impact The defensive end recorded three tackles and a pass defensed in the defeat. Crosby entered the game with an ankle injury but it's unclear if this new injury is related to that one. The sixth-year pro has yet to miss a game in his career.

Andy Dalton passes for 319 yards and 3 TDs to lead Panthers past Raiders 36-22 for first win

Andy Dalton gave the Panthers the quarterback play they’ve been sorely lacking, throwing for 319 yards and three touchdowns to lead Carolina past the Las Vegas Raiders 36-22

Marcus Epps - Ruled out Sunday Epps (knee) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Panthers.

Impact The starting safety made 10 tackles, including one for a loss, before leaving the contest. Epps and the Raiders' defense struggled against the Andy Dalton-led Panthers, allowing over 400 yards of total offense and over 30 points. Chris Smith is the next man up at strong safety.

SEPTEMBER 22 • ROTOWIRE

Thayer Munford Jr. - Exits early Munford (knee) has left Sunday's game against the Panthers.

Impact Munford's absence will leave the Raiders down their starting right tackle as long as he's out of the game. Delmar Glaze and Andrus Peat will be candidates to step in for the time being.

Decamerion Richardson - Won't play vs. Panthers Richardson (hamstring) is listed as inactive for Sunday's game versus Carolina.

Impact Richardson will have to wait at least one more week to make his NFL debut as he continues to recover from a hamstring injury. Las Vegas will probably continue to lean more on 2023 fourth-rounder Jakorian Bennett for snaps at corner with Richardson unavailable.

SEPTEMBER 22 • ROTOWIRE

Tyree Wilson - Will play versus Carolina Wilson (knee) will play Sunday in Las Vegas' matchup versus the Panthers.

Impact Wilson is set to return to the field after having suffered a knee injury during the team's Week 1 loss to the Chargers. The 2023 first-round pick will serve as a rotational pass rusher behind Maxx Crosby and Janarius Robinson.

SEPTEMBER 22 • ROTOWIRE

Christian Wilkins - Will play against Carolina Wilkins (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Panthers.

Impact Wilkins was a limited participant in all three practices this week while nursing a knee injury, but the 2019 first-round pick will suit up for Sunday's contest. He's registered nine tackles (seven solo) through the first two games of the year, and is still seeking his first sack of the regular season.

SEPTEMBER 22 • ROTOWIRE

Maxx Crosby - Active for Sunday's game Crosby (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against Carolina.

Impact Crosby was limited all week due to an ankle injury, but it doesn't appear serious enough to keep him out of Sunday's game. The 2019 fourth-round pick has accumulated 11 tackles (seven solo), including 3.0 sacks, and one pass defended over the first two games of the regular season.

Christian Wilkins - Should be good to go Sunday Wilkins (knee) is expected to be available for Sunday's game agains the Panthers, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Wilkins was tagged as quesitonable Friday after he was limited all week in practice with a knee issue. The 28-year-old totaled nine tackles while playing nearly every defensive snaps over the first two weeks of the season. If Wilkins still isn't available to play quite as many snaps Sunday, then Nesta Jade Silvera and/or Adam Butler could stand to see more playing time versus Carolina.

SEPTEMBER 22 • ROTOWIRE

Maxx Crosby - Expected to play versus Carolina Crosby (ankle) is slated to suit up for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Jordan Schultz reports.

Impact Crosby was a limited participant during practice Wednesday through Friday, and he was listed as questionable on the Raiders' final injury report. However, it appears the 27-year-old is still on track to play, as Las Vegas coach Antonio Pierce said Friday that he desn't expect Crosby to miss Sunday's game, according to Rachel Gossen of the team's official site. The three-time Pro Bowler has totaled 11 tackles and three sacks so far this season.

Raiders pass rush specialist Malcolm Koonce out for the season, AP sources say

Las Vegas Raiders pass rusher Malcolm Koonce will miss the rest of the season with a knee injury, according to two people close to the situation

SEPTEMBER 21 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Tyree Wilson - Questionable for Sunday Wilson (knee) was a full participant in Friday's practice and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Carolina, Tashan Reed of The Athletic reports.

Impact Reed was sidelined for Week 2 against the Ravens due to a knee injury he sustained in Week 1 versus the Chargers. The 2023 first-round pick opened the week with back-to-back limited practices, but he finished strong with a full session Friday, which suggests he has a good chance of playing Sunday. If he does suit up, Wilson will provide rotational depth at defensive end behind starters Maxx Crosby (ankle) and Janarius Robinson.

SEPTEMBER 21 • ROTOWIRE

Decamerion Richardson - Not likely to play Week 3 Richardson (hamstring) did not practice Friday and he is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Tashan Reed of The Athletic reports.

Impact Richardson has been unable to practice in any capacity during the regular season due to a hamstring injury. Given his lack of practice, the rookie fourth-round pick is unlikely to make his NFL debut Sunday.

SEPTEMBER 21 • ROTOWIRE

Malcolm Koonce - Done for year Koonce will undergo season-ending knee surgery next week, Tashan Reed of The Athletic reports.

Impact Koonce sustained a knee injury during practice leading up to Week 1 against the Chargers. There was optimism that the 2021 third-round pick could return during the regular season, but following additional evaluations on his knee, it was determined that surgery was best for Koonce's long-term health, per Reed. Koonce entered the season with high hopes after breaking through in 2023, finishing with 43 tackles (32 solo), including 8.0 sacks, and three forced fumbles across 17 regular-season games. He will enter the 2025 offseason as an unrestricted free agent.

SEPTEMBER 21 • ROTOWIRE

Janarius Robinson - In line to play Sunday Robinson (hand) does not carry an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game versus the Panthers, Tashan Reed of The Athletic reports.

Impact Despite having dealt with a hand issue during the week, Robinson appears to be at full strength for Week 3. He projects to resume his starting role at defensive end opposite Maxx Crosby on Sunday.
