Greg Olsen
While the Carolina Panthers are expected to have Greg Olsen on the field against the Redskins, the question is just how effective he will be. The tight end broke his right foot, the same injury he suffered last year that cost him nine games.
This time around Olsen missed only five weeks, able to cut his recovery time in almost half. This certainly has to raise the concern of possibly re-injury, as well as just how confident Olsen is in that foot.
There is certainly a mental aspect when coming back from an injury and how will Olsen move when on the field, rather cutting out of routes or after a catch.

There is certainly a place for Olsen in this offense to make an impact and if he can, this will be a big boost for the passing game.
