Seahawks to rest TE Greg Olsen for Week 17 vs. 49ers

RENTON, Wash. (AP) — The Seattle Seahawks will rest veteran tight end Greg Olsen for Sunday’s regular-season finale against San Francisco.

Seattle coach Pete Carroll said Friday that Olsen “tweaked” his foot last week against the Los Angeles Rams. Olsen returned last week after missing a month due to a torn plantar fascia in his left foot.

Carroll said the move is precautionary in the hopes Olsen is ready for next week, with the Seahawks likely hosting a playoff game.

Olsen had one reception for 15 yards in his return last week.

Seattle also could be without right tackle Brandon Shell and running back Carlos Hyde against the 49ers.
