Longtime Carolina Panthers tight end Greg Olsen said his son TJ has continued to make progress in his recovery from surgery to undergo a heart transplant June 4.

"He's doing good. He's had an unbelievable recovery. He's feeling good," Olsen told Scott Fowler of the Charlotte Observer on Monday. "He's been home almost three weeks. He's starting to get his strength back and to get a little more active. It's been quite a journey."

Olsen, who also played for the Chicago Bears and Seattle Seahawks during a 14-year career before his retirement in January, has provided consistent updates about TJ throughout the process.
