Report: Olsen's foot injury not season-ending

Carolina Panthers tight end Greg Olsen's foot injury is not season-ending, though he'll be sidelined for around six games, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports.
The 32-year-old could be placed on injured reserve and return later in the campaign, Rapoport added.
Olsen said after Sunday's win over the Buffalo Bills that he'd broken his foot in the contest.
The Panthers' 2016 receiving leader is an invaluable piece of the offense, and while a six-game absence will hurt Carolina, the news that Olsen's campaign isn't over should soften the blow.
