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.

      Is Charlotte the worst sports city right now?

      By CamWhoaaCam · Posted

      Let it all out bro.   At the end of the day Charlotte fans just aren't that passionate as other fans. The Panthers and Hornets crowds are wack.    Go to a Canes game and you will understand this. Tell the family I said hi and Happy Father's Day.

      Dude you have no idea what you're talking about. Best place to live?  LMAO... that's your criteria...  Charlotte gets put all over those lists too... come on man... and those lists have zero to do with sports. I'm done after this bc I'm punching down intellectually here... The Panthers have been bad for 6 years now. You are obviously young and not overly educated based off the "dunks" you're putting out there that certainly are, so let me educate you today on the Panthers. The Panthers sold out for well over a decade straight. BOA has been as good an environment as there is when the team is good.  Fan support for the Panthers has been incredible when the team has even remotely reciprocated. The idea that Charlotte doesn't support the Panthers is utter BS. People in Raleigh have the biggest little brother syndrome of all time... Nobody outside of the Triangle cares about any of your "vaunted" sports team outside of Duke-UNC in basketball on a national scale. Sure, the Canes are great. But nationally, the WWE dwarfs the NHL in ratings. More people care about Cody Rhodes than Sebastian Aho... or anyone else in the NHL for that matter... I doubt less than 5% of anyone in this state outside of Raleigh even knows who that is... that's a knock on Aho who is a great player, it's just the NHL barely makes a ripple in the overall hierarchy of American sports. It's not in the same universe as the NFL or NBA no matter how badly you want to tell yourself otherwise. Raleigh is not a big-time sports city, no matter how much you want to scream into the abyss about it. Neither is Charlotte. But no one here is making such a nonsense argument... LOL it's good to be young and to be ignorant enough to be confidently wrong... WTF are you even on this board though since Charlotte is so beneath you? There is an actual discussion board on this very site for Raleigh sports since they are so superior...  Maybe it's bc I'm watching Idiocracy with my son, but your timing is perfect, my man... The dumbest among us have become the most confidence in their ignorance... God Bless America!!

      You do know the biggest military base in the US is located just an hour from Raleigh in Fort Bragg right? Military families are family oriented. A hour drive to games is nothing compared to traveling 3 hours to Charlotte.   Cmon man there is nothing happening in Western Carolina other than Charlotte. I only go west for outdoor activities and some nature/mountain views.
