Greg Olsen was recently activated back from the injured reserve after suffering a broken plantar fascia in his leg. He appeared in his first game back last week, but will stay against the San Francisco 49ers in the regular season finale in Seattle.
Although he was listed in Friday’s injury report as questionable, coach Pete Caroll confirmed that Olsen will not play on Sunday.
“We will keep him out of this game, which we will do,” Carroll said after training. Just to make sure it’s ready next week. Just a little outburst from last week, but he did well, trained today and managed to get over it, but we think the best thing to do is to give him another weekend “.
Carroll said Olsen has indeed only undergone a “change” and expects to return to training next Wednesday, giving him almost a week to recover before preparations for the playoffs begin.
