RENTON, Wash. -- Seattle Seahawks tight end Greg Olsen is returning to practice this week as he continues what coach Pete Carroll called an "extraordinary" recovery from his foot injury.
Olsen, 35, has been on injured reserve since he tore his plantar fascia in Week 11. The Seahawks designated him for return to practice on Wednesday. They'll have to add him back to their active roster before he can play, but he doesn't count against the 53-man limit in the meantime.
Carroll didn't commit to Olsen playing Sunday against the Washington Football Team, saying only that it's a possibility.
