Former Panthers tight end Greg Olsen shared on Instagram that his son, TJ, has been placed on the heart transplant list.
"DAY 1: TJ has been an inspiration to everyone he has ever met. He has always defeated the odds since birth," Olsen wrote. "Today marks the official start to our journey on the heart transplant list. We don’t know how long it will be, but we have started the race.
"It is not lost on us that a life must be lost for his life to be saved. Our hearts break with the thought.
