Carolina Panthers: Greg Olsen out, what happens now?

The victim of a vicious hit versus Washington two weeks ago, Carolina Panthers tight end Greg Olsen hasn’t played since being admitted into the concussion protocol. On Friday, it was revealed the veteran would miss his second straight game.

After battling a foot injury over the past two seasons, causing him to miss multiple games, Olsen now adds a concussion to his growing injury list. A long-time reliable target for franchise quarterback Cam Newton, Olsen hadn’t missed any time during his first six seasons with the team.

However, after missing 15 games in the past two years and adding another two-plus this season – the idea Olsen may be looking toward life after football has to be discussed.
