The Panthers’ offense has had a rough going with injuries. It doesn’t appear a break is coming any time soon. On Tuesday, it was announced that tight end Greg Olsen re-fractured his right foot. The three-time Pro Bowler is Cam Newton’s most trusted target. Prior to his injury last season, Olsen surpassed over 1,000 yards and 75 receptions for three consecutive seasons. Olsen was set to be a staple in Norv Turner’s Air Coryell type offense.
But not all bad news has to be “bad”. There is a silver lining. That being there’s now opportunity for the younger guys to step up.
