Olsen announced his retirement from the NFL on Sunday, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Olsen spent his final season with the Seahawks and recorded a 24-239-1 line over 11 games. The 35-year-old spent 14 seasons in the league with stops in Chicago, Carolina and Seattle, en route to catching 742 passes for 8,683 yards and 60 touchdowns. He earned three trips to the Pro Bowl as well. Looking ahead, Olsen plans to join Fox as an analyst in the broadcast booth.

Olsen wasn't targeted in Saturday's 30-20 wild-card loss to the Rams.

EDGE Analysis

Olsen clearly wasn't back to 100 percent after returning from a plantar fascia tear in his left foot. The veteran tight end logged just eight snaps on offense and wasn't involved in the passing game. Olsen finished the regular season with a 24-239-1 line through 11 games. This may have been Olsen's last time on the field before he heads to the broadcast booth.

Olsen (foot) was a full participant at Tuesday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Olsen missed last week's win against the 49ers, and coach Pete Carroll attributed his absence to a "flare up" of the plantar fascia tear in his left foot. However, the 35-year-old tight end is ready to battle through the injury as he makes possibly his last run at a Super Bowl. Olsen logged just 12 snaps in the only game he has played since suffering the injury in Week 11. He may face a similar pitch count in Saturday's wild-card matchup against the Rams, in which case Jacob Hollister and Will Dissly will take on larger roles.

Olsen (foot) is inactive for Sunday's game against the 49ers.

EDGE Analysis

Olsen returned last week from a brief stint on injured reserve, playing 12 snaps in the Seahawks' win over the Rams and finishing with a 15-yard reception on two targets. While head coach Pete Carroll suggested that Olsen didn't aggravate the plantar fascia tear in his left foot against the Rams, the tight end did experience what Carroll termed as a "flare up." Rather than having Olsen push through the injury with little at stake in the regular-season finale, the veteran will be given the week off with the hope that he's closer to 100 percent for the playoffs. Look for Will Dissly and Jacob Hollister to handle most of the snaps at tight end Week 17.

Olsen (foot) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the 49ers, but head coach Pete Carroll relayed Friday that the tight end won't play in the regular-season finale, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

After spending four games on injured reserve due to a foot issue, Olsen returned to action for the Week 16 win over the Rams, playing 12 offensive snaps and finishing with one reception for 15 yards on two targets. Though Olsen returned to practice Friday after sitting out sessions Wednesday and Thursday, Carroll said the veteran experienced a "little flare up" with his foot. As such, the Seahawks will err on the side of caution and hold Olsen out Week 17, with the hope of ensuring his availability for the postseason. Look for Will Dissly and Jacob Hollister to split reps at tight end against San Francisco.

Olsen (foot) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the 49ers, Curtis Crabtree of Sports Radio 950 KJR Seattle reports.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran tight end received the designation after he wasn't able to practice Wednesday and Thursday. With a first-round bye still mathematically in reach for the Seahawks heading into Week 17, the urgency to get Olsen on the field may be increased.

Olsen (foot) didn't participate in Thursday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Olsen hasn't appeared on the practice field since playing in this past Sunday's win over the Rams. There's no indication that the 35-year-old aggravated the fascia tear in his left foot, which kept him out for four games, but it's concerning nonetheless. Of course, the veteran tight end doesn't need to practice all week to play Sunday, and a return to practice Friday should put him on the right track for the season finale against San Francisco.

Olsen (foot) didn't participate in Wednesday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Olsen returned from a fascia tear in his left foot for last week's win over the Rams. He clearly was eased into action by playing just 12 of 63 snaps on offense, so missing Wednesday's practice could be a part of his recovery plan. His status shouldn't concern fantasy managers, as there's a decent chance that both Jacob Hollister and Will Dissly handle more reps than Olsen on Sunday against the 49ers.

Olsen was targeted twice and caught a 15-yard pass in Sunday's 20-9 win over the Rams.

EDGE Analysis

In his first appearance after a four-game stint on IR, Olsen played just 12 of 63 snaps on offense. This sort of pitch count was to be expected after rehabbing -- possibly not in full -- a fascia tear in his left foot. It wouldn't be surprising if Olsen continues to work as the No. 3 tight end behind Jacob Hollister and Will Dissly in the season finale against San Francisco.

The Seahawks activated Olsen (foot) from injured reserve Saturday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

After spending more than a month on IR due to a fascia tear in his left foot, Olsen is slated to suit up for the first time since Week 11. His snap count remains to be seen, as he'll vie with Jacob Hollister and Will Dissly for snaps among Seahawks tight ends Sunday against the Rams. Prior to his injury, Olsen averaged a pedestrian 9.7 YPC and 6.4 YPT while scoring one TD on his 35 targets.
