Panthers rule out Greg TE Olsen for Falcons game
CHARLOTTE, N.C. - The Carolina Panthers on Friday ruled out three-time Pro Bowl tight end Greg Olsen for Sunday's game at Atlanta with a concussion.
Olsen suffered the concussion on a helmet-to-helmet hit by Washington Redskins defensive end Ryan Anderson in this past week's embarrassing 29-21 loss that led to the firing of head coach Ron Rivera two days later.
Anderson was ejected and is expected to be fined by the league.
Olsen said earlier this week he was feeling better, but he didn't practice all week. He will be replaced by Ian Thomas and Chris Manhertz.
