NFL Network's Ian Rapoport is reporting Carolina Panthers tight end Greg Olsen (foot) will miss at least the next six games with a broken foot suffered in Week 2. (Ian Rapoport on Twitter)

With a broken foot, #Panthers TE Greg Olsen figures to be about 6 games. IR possible. I’m told it’s not a season-ending injury. He’ll return

Fantasy Impact:

Although Olsen broke his foot, Rapoport is reporting the injury is not season ending and he will return at some point in 2017. However, Rapoport is adding that because Olsen will miss at least the next six games, the Panthers could elect to place him on the short-term injured reserve list to clear a roster spot. With Olsen out, Ed Dickson is the Panthers' TE1.
