After Carolina Panthers tight end Greg Olsen ruptured his right plantar fascia on Sunday in a loss at Tampa Bay, he indicated that his 2018 season was over.
The Panthers will make that official this week by placing Olsen on injured reserve, according to a league source. It will be the second time in two years that Olsen will have been placed on injured reserve.
Olsen suffered a fracture in his right foot in Week 2 of the 2017 season and had it surgically repaired, spending eight weeks on injured reserve before returning to the field with a screw in his foot.
