Devin Funchess among candidates to replace Greg Olsen's production

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- The Carolina Panthers aren’t going to revamp their offense just because tight end Greg Olsen -- also known as Cam Newton's security blanket -- will miss at least six to eight weeks with a broken foot.

It’ll be no different than it was in 2015 when wide receiver Kelvin Benjamin suffered a season-ending knee injury during training camp.

Others will be asked to step up.

Wide receiver Ted Ginn Jr. did in 2015, catching 44 passes for a career-high 10 touchdowns. Newton did in a big way, throwing a career-best 35 touchdown passes on his way to the league MVP award.
