Panthers’ Greg Olsen: ‘I’m not willing to throw in the towel’ on injury-laden season

Panthers tight end Greg Olsen has had weeks where he tested the strength of his foot and others when the team exercised caution so he didn’t reinjure it.

Olsen says now it’s time to give his surgically repaired right foot a go and see what happens.

“I think we’re at the point of (the) season now where we’re running out of time. We’ve got a big four-game stretch here where if we don’t take advantage of (it) our season’s going to end,” Olsen said Thursday. “That’s just the reality of where we are.”

Olsen missed eight games after sustaining a Jones fracture (a break of his fifth metatarsal) in a Week 2 win against Buffalo.
