Carolina Panthers tight end Greg Olsen will play Sunday against the New York Giants after suffering a knee injury in Week 14, according to Joe Person of The Charlotte Observer.

Olsen is expected to be a limited participant in practice. The Panthers' tight end is the team's leading receiver with 65 receptions for 969 yards and six touchdowns.

It was revealed that running back Jonathan Stewart suffered a "slight foot sprain" in Sunday's victory over the Falcons, according to Jonathan Jones of The Charlotte Observer. Stewart was seen in a walking boot Monday, and his Week 15 status is expected to be determined later in the week.

Linebacker David Mayo is also expected to miss two weeks due to a hamstring injury, per Jones.
