Panthers TE Greg Olsen is out, but his backup says he’s ready to fill the void

Usually the media surrounds Carolina Panthers tight end Greg Olsen in the locker room after games, but Sunday was a little different. The media swarmed Olsen like normal – but they also went after the man sitting next to him, backup tight end Ed Dickson.

That’s because for the near future, Dickson won’t be the backup any more.

Olsen came off during the second quarter of Carolina’s 9-3 win over Buffalo, and when he re-emerged later in the game, it was on crutches with a boot on his right foot. After the game, Olsen confirmed he had broken it.
