News

  • Fully cleared from injury

    Olsen (foot) said Wednesday that he was cleared for all football activities earlier in the offseason, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Charlotte Observer reports.

    Analysis: The 34-year-old tight end has been battling right foot issues for the past two seasons while simultaneously contemplating retirement, but he was a full participant at OTAs on Wednesday. While his injury history is a concern heading into 2019, Olsen is currently healthy and should remain one of the Panthers' top receiving options whenever he's on the field.

  • Not leaving for MNF

    Speculation about Olsen (foot) leaving the Panthers to work on Monday Night Football is unfounded, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: On a similar note, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Charlotte Observer reports that two sources close to Olsen said he remains focused on playing for the Panthers in 2019. The 34-year-old tight end could still change his mind if he's disappointed with his rehab from December surgery, but it sounds like that's a long shot at this stage. The recent speculation about a job on Monday Night Football seems to have been sparked by Jason Witten's decision to leave ESPN and rejoin the Cowboys.

  • Aiming to play next year

    Coach Ron Rivera said Olsen (foot) would like to play next season, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Charlotte Observer reports.

    Analysis: Prior to enduring Jones fractures in his right foot in both of the past years, Olsen was a figure of health in his first 10 seasons, missing just two games overall. The injuries came on the heels of three consecutive 1,000-yard campaigns from 2014 through 2016. His average line during that stretch was 80-1,062-5 on 125 targets, so if he ultimately attains renewed health, he could be a valuable asset in what would be his age-34 season in the fall. Olsen is under contract through 2020.

  • Could still consider broadcasting

    Olsen (foot) said his mindset is to focus on rehab so he can play football in 2019, but he doesn't want to shut the door on any potential opportunities in broadcasting, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Olsen auditioned for a job with ESPN last March, then signed a two-year, $17.1 million extension (through 2020) in April. Coming off a second straight season marred by his problematic right foot, the veteran tight end has made multiple comments suggesting he plans to play another year. He could still change his mind if the rehab from December surgery doesn't go well, but it does seem he truly wants to play. Olsen will turn 34 in March and is believed to be facing a rehab timeline of 3-to-4…read more

  • Aiming to resume career in 2019

    Olsen (foot) expects to resume his playing career in 2019, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Charlotte Observer reports. "I still enjoy playing and I still know I can play," Olsen said Wednesday.

    Analysis: Recently, Olsen underwent surgery on his right foot for the second time in as many seasons. The first one -- which came in September 2017 and required the insertion of a screw -- was more or less a quick fix, but multiple aggravations ensued this season. The second procedure involved the replacement of the screw and included a bone graft, which Olsen told Rodrigue typically has a high success rate. According to Rodrigue, this surgery has historically "fixed [the Jones fracture] for good" in…read more

  • Expected to continue career

    Coach Ron Rivera said Friday that he expects Olsen (foot) to play football in 2019, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Olsen will turn 34 in March and is eventually expected to have a career in broadcasting, but it sounds like the Panthers expect him back for at least one more season. He recently had surgery to address a ruptured plantar fascia in his problematic right foot. Olsen may not be ready for the team's offseason program, but he should have enough time to finish up the rehab process before training camp opens.

  • Expected to make full recovery

    Olsen (foot) recently underwent surgery on his right foot and is expected to make a full recovery, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Olsen re-injured his surgically repaired right foot during the Panthers' Week 13 loss to Tampa Bay and was ultimately placed on injured reserve ahead of Carolina's Week 14 loss to Cleveland. The 33-year-old remains under contract through the next two seasons, but it isn't clear how much of Olsen's impending rehab program will eat into his preparation time for the 2019 campaign. It also isn't entirely clear if he intends to continue his football career.

  • Officially lands on IR

    The Panthers placed Olsen (foot) on injured reserve Wednesday, Max Henson of the Panthers' official site reports.

    Analysis: As anticipated, Olsen's 2018 season officially comes to an end after he re-injured his surgically repaired right foot in Sunday's 24-17 loss to the Buccaneers, with his latest setback being labeled as a ruptured plantar fascia. Olsen is under contract through 2019, but with the foot issues causing him to miss half of the Panthers' regular-season contests over the past two seasons and another surgery on tap, it's possible the 33-year-old walks away from the game. The Panthers will proceed with…read more

  • IR likely on tap

    The Panthers are expected to place Olsen (foot) on injured reserve this week, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Charlotte Observer reports.

    Analysis: Per ESPN's David Newton, Olsen indicated that he ruptured the "plantar" in his right foot during Week 13 action. With Olsen sidelined, the profile of fellow tight end Ian Thomas in the Panthers offense is bound to expand, making him an option for those scrambling to replace Olsen on fantasy rosters.

  • Suffers season-ending foot injury

    Olsen said he ruptured the plantar fascia in his right foot during Sunday's 24-17 loss at Tampa Bay and expects to miss the remainder of the season, David Newton of ESPN.com reports. "It was kind of just a matter of time with this foot," Olsen told Max Henson of the Panthers' official site. "[We] got as much out of it as we could have."

    Analysis: Injuries to his right foot have plagued Olsen for most of the past two seasons. He didn't come close to replicating his production from the previous three seasons -- all of them 1,000-yard efforts -- hauling in 44 of 76 passes for 482 yards and five touchdowns in 16 games between 2017 and 2018. Surgery will be ordered up at the appropriate time, after which a timetable for his recovery should be released. Look for fellow tight ends Ian Thomas and Chris Manhertz to fill in for Olsen the rest of…read more

  • Won't return Week 13

    Olsen (foot) won't reenter Sunday's game in Tampa Bay, Bryan Strickland of the Panthers' official site reports.

    Analysis: After limping off the field favoring his right foot, Olsen immediately was taken on a cart to the locker room. He missed 12 games combined the past two seasons due to Jones fractures in that foot, but an official diagnosis ultimately will determine if another absence is in his future.

  • Limps off field Sunday

    Olsen (foot) was carted to the locker room early in the second quarter of Sunday's game at Tampa Bay, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Charlotte Observer reports.

    Analysis: Olsen limped off the field favoring his right foot, which has sustained a Jones fracture both of the past two seasons. While he's played through the injury this year, he may have aggravated it as the Panthers enter the stretch run. Rookie Ian Thomas and Chris Manhertz are the remaining tight ends on the Panthers roster.

  • Full practice Thursday

    Olsen (foot) practiced in full Thursday, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Since missing three games early in the season due to a Jones fracture in his right foot, Olsen has managed to play 95.2 percent (400 of 420) of the offensive snaps over the last seven games. He hasn't been consistently productive, but the 33-year-old tight end has still put up 24 catches (on 35 targets) for 245 yards and four touchdowns during that stretch. Along the way, Olsen's best game (6-76-1 on six targets) came against the Buccaneers, who just happen to be the Panthers' opponent Sunday.

  • Gets day off Wednesday

    Olsen (foot) was held out of practice Wednesday, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Olsen is following his typical routine with maintenance of his right foot in mind. The rest in practice has enabled Olsen to log 400 of a possible 420 offensive snaps the last seven contests, but he appears to be touchdown-dependent, scoring four times while averaging 3.4 catches (on five targets) for 35 yards per game during that stretch.

  • Nearly invisible in Week 12

    Olsen was held to two catches for 11 yards on four targets in Sunday's 30-27 loss to Seattle.

    Analysis: Even with wide receiver Devin Funchess (back) out, Olsen couldn't get anything going. The veteran tight end is averaging only 20 yards over the past three games, but his four touchdowns in the past six have kept his fantasy value afloat. Luckily for Olsen's owners, he'll have a great opportunity to bounce back in Week 13 against a Tampa Bay defense that's been among the league's most generous to tight ends.

  • Puts in full practice Thursday

    Olsen (rest/foot) practiced in full Thursday, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: After taking a veteran's day off Wednesday, Olsen handled every practice rep presented to him one day later, effectively clearing him for his seventh appearance in a row. In the previous six, he took the field for 342 of 361 snaps on offense (94.7 percent), reaching the end zone in four of those games. His output otherwise has been inconsistent, though, with two outings of less than 10 yards and the other four between 40 and 76 yards.

  • Held out of practice for rest

    Olsen (foot/rest) didn't practice Wednesday, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Charlotte Observer reports.

    Analysis: The Panthers have scaled back Olsen's practice reps to reduce the chance of any complications with his fractured foot. He may still need surgery after the season, but he's been effective while playing through the injury, catching 22 passes for 234 yards and four touchdowns in his past six games. Olsen should be fine for Sunday's game against the Seahawks, a team that's given up three touchdowns to tight ends the past two weeks despite allowing just 36 catches to the position group all season.

  • Scores in defeat

    Olsen caught two of three targets for nine yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 20-19 loss to the Lions.

    Analysis: Olsen overcame his foot issue to play all but two offensive snaps. While his three targets marked his lowest since Week 1, Olsen did find the end zone from one yard out on Carolina's first drive. That somewhat salvaged an otherwise subpar performance from Olsen, who'll aim to get more involved through the air Week 12 versus the Seahawks.

  • Ready to face Detroit

    Olsen (foot) doesn't carry an injury designation on the Panthers' final injury report for Sunday's game in Detroit.

    Analysis: Olsen returned to full participation Friday after being listed as a limited participant the previous two days. He's still at risk of an in-game setback with his foot injury, but the downside is outweighed by a favorable matchup against a Lions defense that has surrendered 9.2 yards per target to tight ends (and 8.9 yards per pass attempt overall) this season.

  • Listed as limited second straight day

    Olsen (foot) was listed as a limited participant on Thursday's estimated practice report, according to Steve Reed of the Associated Press.

    Analysis: Rather than a traditional practice session, the Panthers instead opted for a brief walk-through due to the rainy weather in the area. That prevented Olsen from getting a full slate of reps in after a limited showing Wednesday, but the tight end is expected to practice without any restrictions Friday. If he does so, Olsen will avoid an injury designation heading into Sunday's contest against the Lions and should be in store for an ample workload. The 33-year-old has played 94.4 percent of the…read more

  • Logs limited practice

    Olsen (foot) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Charlotte Observer reports.

    Analysis: The maintenance program instituted to keep Olsen healthy has so far done wonders for the veteran tight end, who has played 286 of 303 offensive snaps (94.4 percent) over the last five games. His production may not be up to his previous standards, but he's still managed to record 20 catches (on 28 targets) for 225 yards and three touchdowns during that span.

  • Four receptions in blowout defeat

    Olsen brought in four of six targets for 40 yards in the Panthers' 52-21 loss to the Steelers on Thursday.

    Analysis: Olsen was the second-leading pass catcher in both receptions and receiving yardage for Carolina, a testament to the struggles their passing game endured. The veteran tight end is apparently managing his troublesome foot well, as he's posted at least four grabs in four of the last five games. While Olsen did see his three-game touchdown streak end Thursday, he naturally remains one of Cam Newton's most trusted targets. He'll look to improve on Thursday's production against the Lions in a Week 11…read more

  • Cleared for Thursday

    Olsen (foot) doesn't have a designation for Thursday's game in Pittsburgh, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Per usual, the Panthers limited Olsen's exposure in practice this week, holding him to limited availability Monday and Tuesday before clearing him for full activity Wednesday. The veteran has a friendly matchup on tap Thursday versus a Steelers defense that has conceded 72.9 yards per game and four touchdowns to tight ends in eight games this season.

  • Logs another limited session

    Olsen (foot) was a limited participant in Tuesday's practice.

    Analysis: Coming out of Sunday's 42-28 win over the Buccaneers, Olsen didn't suffer any reported setbacks with the right foot he fractured in the season opener, so his limitations Tuesday are presumably maintenance-related. The Panthers could restrict Olsen's reps again Wednesday in an attempt to keep him as fresh as possible on the short week, but the tight end appears in little danger of missing Thursday's tilt with the Steelers.

  • Limited Monday

    Olsen (foot) was limited during Monday's walkthrough, Bill Voth of the Panthers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Olsen continues to operate under a maintenance program on his right foot, which endured a fracture Week 1 but has been healthy enough to play on the last four games. During that stretch, he's taken the field for 241 of 246 offensive snaps (98 percent). His status as one of Cam Newton's (shoulder) top red-zone options is evident by touchdowns in the region in three consecutive contests.

  • Another impressive performance in Week 9 win

    Olsen brought in all six of his targets for 76 yards and a touchdown in the Panthers' 42-28 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.

    Analysis: Olsen made an outstanding juggling one-handed catch in the second quarter that served as the first of Cam Newton's two touchdown passes on the afternoon. The veteran tight end has now scored in three straight games and posted between four and six receptions and 48 to 76 receiving yards in three of the past four games. Despite having an emerging pair of young wideouts in D.J. Moore and Curtis Samuel, Newton naturally continues to place considerable trust in Olsen, keeping the tight end a highly…read more

  • Progresses to full practice

    Olsen (foot) was a full practice participant Thursday, Bryan Strickland of the Panthers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Since putting an end to a three-game absence Week 6, Olsen's practice reps have been limited at times to avoid any extra stress on his right foot. He's proceeded to earn 181 of 184 snaps on offense over the last three games, accruing 10 receptions (on 16 targets) for 109 yards and two touchdowns along the way. Olsen will look to build upon those numbers Sunday versus a Buccaneers defense that has conceded 9.9 YPT and four touchdowns to tight ends in seven games this season.
