Panthers’ Greg Olsen unplugged on injury: Return next week ‘not out of the question’

Another day, another positive step for Carolina Panthers tight end Greg Olsen, who practiced Thursday in a limited fashion for the first time since re-fracturing his right foot in a Week 1 win over Dallas.

In his first media availability since the injury, Olsen opened up about how it happened, what recovery has been like, and when he expects to return to the field.

“From the beginning, we were pretty clear that we were in a little bit of uncharted waters,” Olsen said Thursday. “We — the doctors, the trainers, myself — felt that even though we had a little bit of a setback there with the re-fracture, we thought we were kind of starting ahead of the curve a little bit because obviously we already had that screw inserted last year.
