Panthers tight end Greg Olsen is still in the concussion protocol following the head shot he took in Sunday’s loss to Washington. Olsen was one of four players who sat out the first day of practice for this week.
Here’s your first look at the team’s Week 14 injury report.
| Player | Injury | Wed | Thu | Fri | Status |
| TE Greg Olsen | Concussion | DNP | |||
| OT Greg Little | Ankle | DNP | |||
| DT Gerald McCoy | Knee | DNP | |||
| S Eric Reid | Ankle | DNP | |||
| OT Taylor Moton | Knee | Limited | |||
| LB Shaq Thompson | Ankle | Limited |
If Olsen can’t play against the Falcons, expect second-year tight end Ian Thomas to get a much larger role on offense. To date, he’s only played 101 offensive snaps – 11.9% of the team’s total.
Expect McCoy and Reid to resume practicing later in the week. Little is a question mark, though. In any case, sixth-round pick Dennis Daley remains the Panthers’ best option to play left tackle right now.
