A back issue led to Olsen’s spot on the report, but it does not look like it will keep him from facing the Cowboys. According to multiple reports, Olsen is expected to play on Sunday.

The Panthers also listed right tackle Daryl Williamsas questionable to play due to the dislocated kneecap he suffered during training camp. Williams was initially expected to miss games due to the injury, but he’s made a quick recovery and Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports he is “looking good” to be in the lineup.

I think its a mistake to start d williams so early after that knee injury,  if he does play i hope he doesnt re injure or make it a lot worse

 

Its sounding like greg will be a gametime descision  but i dont think ron wants the cowboys to know ahead of time greg might not play and gameplan around it

It is shocking to see Williams play but of the doctors say he is good to go what can you do in that situation? We only have 16 games and the division could come down to a single game. Tough decision for Rivera but I cannot say I wouldn’t make the same decision if he has been cleared

i just wonder to what extent he's been "cleared"

im concerned that rivera thinks he's doing him a favor by letting him play since this is obviously a very important year for williams. im also concerned that the staff is letting the sad state of the line influence this decision. part of being a coach is protecting players from themselves and it's going to be terrible if williams further injures his knee and has his career derailed.

 I feel you but our staff has to be one who puts no pressure on one to play think back to Ryan K last year if you're cleared that's it there's no levels you either can play or not I think he'll be fine nobody would risk their career these days I don't think. If he needed a week or two he'd get it but he's been practicing pain free all week time to goto work.

  Ive had many of the same concerns already mentioned. But if they are willing to play him, I trust he is at least 85%. This staff sat Cam for an opener. And he could have played. So if they are willing to risk Williams season, I’m taking it as a sign he is close to healthy.

I don’t believe they would sacrifice his long term health for one game if he was not ready. We still want him in our long term plans, and Rivera has typically never rushed players back from injuries before they are ready to go. Look at Kalil last year, and Luke even after he was cleared from concussions.

      Dan Morgan on the Rich Eisen show

      Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.

      Well, seeing as we play the Lions at home this year, pretty sure that rumor isn't true.

      Totally possible imo, I also caught that snippet from Morgan where he said “If” we sign him. The lack of competition says otherwise tho 🤷‍♂️
