Saints ready to defend Panthers tight end Greg Olsen for first time this season

Carolina Panthers tight end Greg Olsen has caught more passes against the New Orleans Saints than any other team during his 11-year career.

But, Olsen didn't have any receptions against the Saints in 2017 because he sat out both regular-season matchups while tending to a foot injury.

Olsen's injury forced him to miss nine games this season, and while playing through pain, he struggled to match his production of the past, finishing the season with 17 catches for 191 yards and a touchdown -- and the majority of those statistics came in Week 15 against the Green Bay Packers.
