Panthers coach Ron Rivera said Monday tight end Greg Olsen’s availability for the week depended on an early-week check-up.
So far, so good.
The Pro Bowl tight end was a limited participant in Wednesday’s practice as he makes his return from a fractured right foot — the same injury that limited him to a career-low seven games in 2017. The 12 combined games he’s missed over the past two seasons are more than double the five games he’d missed during his professional and collegiate career before last season.
“It felt good to be back out there again,” Olsen said.
