Greg Olsen Expected To Play Thursday Night
5 years agoCarolina Panthers tight end Greg Olsen (back) is expected to be active for the team's Thursday night matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Even though the veteran was unable to practice throughout the week and was officially listed as questionable for the Week 2 contest, head coach Ron Rivera noted that he anticipates that Olsen will be able to play. Fantasy-wise at the moment, Olsen remains a high-end TE2 option. However, if for some reason the veteran is unable to suit up or is on a snap count, expect backup Ian Thomas to carve out a larger role in the offense.
