Carolina Panthers Tight End Olsen added to injury report

Carolina Panthers tight end Greg Olsen was added to the injury report on Saturday.

He is listed as questionable with a back injury.

With the Panthers already thin at the position, losing Olsen likely would lead to major alterations in the team's game plan against the Dallas Cowboys, who visit Bank of America Stadium for the regular-season opener on Sunday.

Ian Thomas likely would get more reps if Olsen is out or his availability is limited.

Not having Olsen could necessitate a roster move on Sunday. Chris Manhertz is dealing with a foot injury, and the third-stringer was not expected to be active against Dallas.
