CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- The low point for Carolina Panthers tight end Greg Olsen came in Week 12 against the New York Jets. He had spent nine weeks being a spectator in the 2017 season after breaking his foot in the second game, and after one half on the artificial turf at MetLife Stadium, he suffered a setback.
The foot was so sore that the medical staff didn’t let the three-time Pro Bowl selection play in the second half. He then was held out the next week in a pivotal game against the NFC South rival New Orleans Saints.
