Carolina Panthers - Fantasy News
The Panthers' decision not to place Olsen on injured reserve after he sustained the injury in Week 1 seemingly supports the notion that the tight end's setback isn't as severe as the one he endured a season ago. Aiding Olsen's case for a return by midseason is the fact that he avoided surgery on the foot, which should help accelerate his return to the field. The Panthers probably won't offer a target date for Olsen's return to action until he's back on the practice field in some capacity, but Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported Sept. 16 that the 33-year-old was hopeful to miss only 4-to-5 weeks. If the short end of that timetable proves realistic, Olsen could be ready to play as soon as the Panthers' Week 6 matchup with the Redskins on Oct. 14.
