Carolina Panthers TE Greg Olsen to play against New York Giants

Carolina Panthers tight end Greg Olsen has been cleared to play and cornerback Charles Tillman will return to action as the club attempts to remain unbeaten on Sunday against the New York Giants.

Olsen injured his left knee in last week's 38-0 drubbing of the Atlanta Falcons. He sat out a practice early in the week but was a full participant on Friday and was listed as probable.

Olsen, who has played in 139 consecutive games, has 65 receptions for 969 yards this season.

Tillman has missed the last four games due to a knee injury. His return is timely as cornerback Bene Menwikere suffered a season-ending fractured leg against the Falcons.

Carolina (13-0) will be without running back Jonathan Stewart due to a sprained left foot. Stewart has rushed for 989 yards.

Mike Tolbert and Fozzy Whittaker will handle the bulk of the ball-carrying duties.
