The Carolina Panthers lost a key piece of their offense on Sunday, as tight end Greg Olsen left the team’s game against the Buffalo Bills with a foot injury.
Early indications are that the injury was at least somewhat serious, as Olsen was later spotted on the sideline wearing a walking boot and using crutches.

Olsen caught one pass for 10 yards before exiting the game.
Olsen has been Cam Newton’s favorite target over the last several seasons, which is one of the reasons he was seeking a new contract over the winter. However, the 32-year-old vowed to put the contract drama behind him once the season started so he would not become a distraction to the team.
