[CBFF] CT - Bears await word on Olsen

[Victor Waldron]

> As the Bears prepare to cut the roster to 53 players Saturday, the
> biggest suspense revolves around Olsen, who injured his knee late in
> the first half of Thursday night's exhibition loss to Cleveland. Coach
> Lovie Smith first referred to it as a knee bruise and then a sprain,
> which is more severe. Sprains typically take up to four weeks to heal.
> An MRI is the only way to determine if there is ligament damage, and
> Olsen is expected to have one after the swelling subsides.

As these things go, a four week recovery for a "sprain" is somewhat
optimistic. It would have to be a relatively minor sprain for him to
come back that quickly. The "after the swelling subsides" comment
worries me a little.
