Cam Newton, Panthers show explosive potential against Titans even without Greg Olsen

How explosive can the Carolina Panthers be offensively? The first team scored 10 points in the first three drives of Saturday’s 26-16 preseason victory over the Tennessee Titans without Pro Bowl tight end Greg Olsen or backup Ed Dickson.

Olsen, who hasn’t practiced all week because of back spasms, is a big part of the offense. The tight end position in general is.

But Olsen in particular is huge to an offense that topped the NFL in scoring last season. He has led Carolina in receptions the past three years.
