Greg Olsen Likely Headed To Short Term IR

[Saca312]

Well...

Luckily, we're not in trouble just yet. I'll explain how Kelvin Benjamin will help bandage Olsen's loss if necessary in an article soon.

Back in time for the playoffs.

We dont' need a WR taking over TEs duties especially in run blocking

[TheSpecialJuan]

relatively good news 

[the butch]

there will be no trades.  hopefully there's a playoff to push for when he returns.

This situation is like a wet dream for Sanjay.  Here come a million threads on TE possiblities.

Should start going to 3 WR sets now

KB, Funch, with Samuel in the slot 

 

 

But again we have Shula and won't adjust.

As soon as it was announced as a broken foot, short term IR was basically confirmed. We can survive without him for 8 weeks or so

Need to call barnage and stop fuging around

[PhillyB]

good thing we got a 2-0 start. this could cost us a few games down the stretch

Right. We just need to be in the hunt when he returns. I believe we can do that with our defense, and our offense and Can will get better as the season progresses

We'll be 6 - 2 and he'll return to the starting lineup 

[PantherPhann89]

I think that the ost likely scenario is Olsen going on short term IR and us promoting Manhertz to the 53 as the no. 2 TE

Yeah, it hurts to lose him but at least it won't be for the entire season. He can come back fresh in 8 weeks and help us make that push to the playoffs
