According to the Carolina Panthers’ website, panthers.com, tight end Greg Olsen was placed on injured reserve after undergoing surgery on Monday to repair his broken right foot.
“He broke the fifth metatarsal on his right foot – it’s called a Jones fracture,” head athletic trainer Ryan Vermillion told the website. “He had a screw inserted to repair the fracture.”
In a related move, according to agent Kyle Strongin, rookie fullback Alex Armah will sign with the Carolina Panthers’ 53-man roster from the practice squad on Tuesday.
Armah, a versatile pass-catching fullback out of West Georgia, had a promising preseason but did not make the original 53-man roster.
