Panthers' Olsen could return from broken foot Week 6

Carolina Panthers tight end Greg Olsen could make his return to the starting lineup Sunday versus the Washington Redskins.

Olsen will likely be listed as questionable for Week 6 after suffering a broken foot in the season opener, but Panthers head coach Ron Rivera sounded optimistic about his chances of suiting up, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

The tight end has missed his team's last three games, but practiced in full Thursday. He was not placed on injured reserve after Week 1.

Olsen first fractured the foot in 2017 and then missed eight weeks of the regular season.
