The Facts: HC Ron Rivera told reporters at the NFL owners meeting that Olsen won’t need a second foot surgery.

Diehards Line: Olsen has been running and doing bike work. He also recently auditioned for the Monday Night Football analyst job that Jon Gruden had from 2009 until he accepted the coaching job at Oakland after this past season. Because the opening was for this season and so high profile, that stirred speculation the three-time Pro Bowl selection was considering retiring before this season, but the veteran TE assured the Panthers he was only going to "practice' for what he hopes will be a second career after football. Olsen, 33, is entering the final year of a three-year, $22.5 million contract. He will be an unrestricted free agent in 2019 if not signed to an extension before then.
