Panthers TE Greg Olsen updates his recovery from foot surgery, timeframe for return
Greg Olsen joked that injured players in the NFL are “out of sight, out of mind.”
But that hasn’t been the case for the Carolina Panthers’ Pro Bowl tight end.
Olsen has been around Bank of America Stadium a lot since breaking his foot in a Week 2 victory over Buffalo. He’s progressing well since his Sept. 18 surgery, and believes he’s on track to resume practicing when he’s eligible to do so the week of Nov. 6.
“The big step now is to get out of the (protective) boot,” Olsen said Wednesday. “But to be only three weeks and be in the boot walking with no crutches has been a good step. So just keep going and hopefully in a couple weeks be able to get back out on the field.”
