The Facts: Greg Olsen said he plans to play Thursday night versus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Diehards Line:Olsen not practicing could be a precautionary measure more than an indication of his health. He's played with Newton in Carolina for the better part of a decade. It's not like he's in dire need of the practice reps. The shortened week does complicate things a small amount but the early news on Olsen is positive.
