Seattle Seahawks runner Greg Olsen was recently activated from the injured reserve after suffering a torn plantar fascia in his foot. He appeared in his first game back last week, but will stay against the San Francisco 49ers at the end of Seattle’s regular season.
Although listed in Friday’s injury report as questionable, coach Pete Caroll confirmed that Olsen would not play on Sunday.
“We’ll make it out of this game is what we’ll do,” Carroll said after practice. “Just to make sure it’s ready next week. Just a little outburst from last week, but he handled it well, practiced today and overcame it and all that, but we just think the best we can do is give him another weekend. ”
Carroll said Olsen really only suffered one “adjustment” and is expected to return to practice next Wednesday, giving him nearly a week to recover before preparations for the playoffs begin.
