Greg Olsen Re-Injures Foot
6 years agoCarolina Panthers tight end Greg Olsen (foot) re-injured his foot in the Week 13 loss to the Buccaneers early in the game and was ruled out. Olsen missed most of last season and several weeks earlier this year with a foot injury, so this doesn't look good. We'd expect Olsen to be out at least one game and possibly for the rest of the season, depending on the diagnosis. The veteran tight end had just one catch for 13 yards before departing and wasn't able to capitalize in an easy matchup against Tampa. If he misses time, rookie Ian Thomas should be the main pass-catching tight end, but he failed to make any noise when Olsen missed time earlier this year and would be a desperation TE2.
