Arizona Cardinals: 3 Panthers to watch out for
By Scott Allen
Greg Olsen
He always seems to be nursing some sort of injury but he is still one of the best in the NFL. This week is no different as he is listed questionable for Sunday, although he likely is going to play.
He has 10 receptions for 146-yards so far over the first two weeks of the young season. He has not gotten himself into the end zone yet however.
The way the Cardinals have covered tight ends over the first two weeks certainly leaves a lot of worry among fans. It should the team as well.
In the regular season, Olsen has 15 receptions for 239-yards and 3 touchdowns against the Cardinals. He had 6 catches for 113-yards in that 2015 NFC Championship Game, which was something he almost matched last week against the Bucs, catching 6 passes for 110-yards.
The video doesn’t lie, the Cardinals have always struggled against tight ends in general. With Olsen being one of the best when healthy, it could be a long afternoon for the Cardinals defense.
