Olsen (back spasms) will likely not play in Saturday's preseason game against Tennessee, David Newton of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Panthers have no intentions of rushing Olsen back to action as he is one of their most valuable and important offensive weapons. There has been no indication that his Week 1 status is in any danger. Scott Simonson, Beau Sandland and others will likely see increased snaps in Olsen's absence.
