CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) Panthers coach Ron Rivera offered no immediate updates on the injuries to three-time Pro Bowl tight end Greg Olsen and second-team All-Pro right tackle Daryl Williams the day after were sidelined.
Carolina hopes to know more later Monday.
While the Panthers opened the regular season with a 16-8 win against the Dallas Cowboys, it did not come without a cost.
Olsen re-injured the right foot – the same one he fractured last season causing him to miss nine games – early on, and spent the second half of the Cowboys game watching from the sideline on crutches. Williams was carted off with a knee injury and did not return either.
If the players miss time as expected, rookie fourth-round draft pick Ian Thomas will get the start Sunday at tight end against Atlanta, while Amini Silatolu will likely fill in at right tackle.
