News

  • Doubtful to return

    Olszewski is doubtful to return to Sunday's game against the Browns due to a knee injury, Burt Lauten reports.

    Analysis: Olszewski logged two carries for four yards before departing this weekend's matchup versus Cleveland with a knee injury. Steven Sims and Miles Boykin should both receive additional snaps in the second half behind starters Diontae Johnson and George Pickens.

  • Logs carry in Monday's win

    Olszewski went without a target but carried once for a nine-yard gain in Monday's 24-17 win over the Colts.

    Analysis: Since Chase Claypool was traded to the Bears on Nov. 1, Olszewski and Steven Sims have essentially shared the No. 3 receiver role while Diontae Johnson and George Pickens have led the position group. In the three games that have followed, Sims has played 84 snaps on offense, while Olszewski has logged 72. In that span, Olszewksi has recorded 52 total yards on four touches (three catches, one carry).

  • Racks up 39 yards

    Olszewski secured two of three targets for 39 yards during the Steelers' 37-30 loss to the Bengals on Sunday.

    Analysis: Olszewski had his first reception of the season last week and had an uptick in offensive production during Sunday's Week 11 matchup. He played 42 percent of the team's offensive snaps and was relatively efficient with his limited opportunities. While the 25-year-old has been slightly more involved in Pittsburgh's offense after the team traded Chase Claypool to the Bears, Olszewski still hasn't had a very fantasy-relevant role for managers outside of deeper leagues.

  • Loses role as returner

    Olszewski (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Bills, Chris Halicke of DKPittsburghSports.com reports.

    Analysis: Olszewski has fumbled twice across four games in his role as the Steelers' primary kick and punt returner. As a result, he'll be inactive for the first time this season. Steven Sims appears to be a candidate to takeover Olszewski's role on special teams.

  • Listed as top return man

    Olszewski is listed as the top kickoff returner and punt returner on the Steelers' Week 1 depth chart, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Olszewski spent the last three seasons with the Patriots and drew just 12 targets over that stretch, but he carved out a role as a returner in New England. It seems as though he'll play a similar role for the Steelers, as he's slated to serve as depth among the team's receivers but should have a chance to make an impact in the return game.

  • Joining Steelers

    Olszewski has agreed to a two-year, $4.2 million deal with the Steelers, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Over his three seasons with the Patriots, Olszewski recorded just nine receptions, but perhaps the 25-year-old will be more involved as a receiver with the Steelers in 2022. In any case, the 6-foot, 190-pounder should continue to make his mark as a quality punt/kick returner.

  • Headed for free agency

    The Patriots declined to tender Olszewski a contract Wednesday, making him an unrestricted free agent, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: New England could still look to re-sign the 25-year-old this offseason, but he'll now have an opportunity to explore his options elsewhere. In three NFL seasons, Olszewski has recorded just nine catches, but his contributions as a punt and kick returner will no doubt assist him in finding a landing spot for the 2022 season.

  • Minimal role on offense this season

    Olszewski finished the 2021 regular season with two catches on three targets for 31 yards and one carry for nine yards in 16 games.

    Analysis: While Olszewski wasn't much of a factor in the team's offense, he once again made his mark by serving as New England's primary kick and punt returner. The 25-year-old is a restricted free agent this coming offseason, but Paul Perillo of the Patriots' official site suggests that Olszewski is a candidate to be retained via a contract tender.

  • Active Monday

    Olszewski (ankle) will be available for Monday's game against the Bills.

    Analysis: Olszewski was limited at practice all week before drawing a questionable designation. Look for him to take on his usual role providing depth at wide receiver assuming he avoids any setbacks.

    Published: Mon, Dec 6 at 4:02pm by Rotowire.com

  • Questionable against Bills

    Olszewski (ankle) is questionable for Monday's game against Buffalo, Phil Perry of NBC Sports Boston reports.

    Analysis: Olszewski landed on the injury report to begin the week and has logged three consecutive limited practices. That leaves him questionable for Monday, and his potential absence would leave a key void in both New England's kick and punt return game.

    Published: Sat, Dec 4 at 2:25pm by Rotowire.com
    More news and analysis available atNFL.com
  • Picks up ankle issue

    Olszewski (ankle) was a limited practice participant Friday.

    Analysis: Olszewski began the week on the injury report and has logged two limited practices since. That will give him the opportunity to suit up Monday against the Bills, though there should be more clarity come the team's final practice Saturday.

  • Cleared for Thursday

    Olszewksi (concussion) was not listed on the Patriots' injury report ahead of Thursday's contest against the Falcons.

    Analysis: After not practicing Monday and only being a limited participant Tuesday, Olszewksi was not listed on Wednesday's injury report. The 24-year-old missed Sunday's contest against the Browns with a concussion, but he looks to be back for Thursday night's game. The 2019 undrafted free agent will continue to be utilized more on special teams than in the offensive gameplan.

  • Won't play against Browns

    Olszewski (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Browns.

    Analysis: With Olszewski sidelined, J.J. Taylor will likely take over as the return man on punts and kickoffs. Taylor could see a more prominent role in the Patriots backfield as well, as starting running back Damien Harris has also been ruled out due to a concussion.

  • Listed as questionable

    Olszewski (concussion) is considered questionable for Sunday's game versus Cleveland.

    Analysis: Olszewski remains in concussion protocol and will need to clear it before kickoff Sunday in order to suit up. If he ends up being unable to play, J.J. Taylor would presumably be next in line to handle return duties for the Pats.

  • Suffers concussion

    Olszewski has been diagnosed with a concussion, per the Patriots' official site.

    Analysis: Olszewski was unable to return to Sunday's game against the Panthers due to a head injury, and he was held out of practice Wednesday and Thursday after being diagnosed with a concussion. If he hopes to play Sunday against the Browns, he'll likely need to practice in some capacity Friday.

  • Won't return

    Olszewski (head) has been ruled out of Sunday's matchup against the Panthers.

    Analysis: The exact nature of Olszewski's injury is unclear, though he was ruled out quickly. He has served as both the primary kick and punt returner in New England, so the team will have a significant void to fill on special teams.

  • Questionable to return

    Olszewski (head) is questionable to return Sunday against the Panthers, Zack Cox of NESN.com reports.

    Analysis: Olszewski suffered the injury on a punt return in the first half and likely will be evaluated for a concussion. If he is unable to get back into the game, Kyle Dugger will be in line to take over Olszewski's role.

  • Will play in preseason finale

    Olszewski (undisclosed) will suit up for Sunday's preseason finale against the Giants, Zach Cox of NESN reports.

    Analysis: Olszewski was not seen at the Patriots' joint practice with the Giants on Thursday and did not practice Friday either. It is unclear what caused his absence, but it doesn't appear to be too significant, as the prolific return man has returned to action for the preseason finale.

  • Sits out Thursday's joint practice

    Olszewski (undisclosed) was not seen at Thursday's joint practice against the Giants, Ryan Hannable of WEEI.com reports.

    Analysis: It is not clear why Olszewski wasn't at practice. After a prolific season as the Patriots' primary return man, the 24-year-old was selected to the AP 2020 All-Pro First Team as a special teamer. If he is unable to go for the final preseason game Sunday, expect J.J. Taylor and Kyle Dugger to share Olszewski's vacant reps.

  • Strong work on special teams

    Olszewski finished the 2020 season with five catches (on five targets) for 62 yards and a TD and five carries for 23 yards in 13 games.

    Analysis: While Olszewski didn't see much work in the Patriots offense this past season, he did make quite a mark as a returner, fielding 18 kickoffs for 418 yards and 20 punts for 346 yards and a TD. His strong effort in that department led to the 24-year-old being selected to the AP 2020 All-Pro First Team as a special teamer. Olszewski is under contract with New England through 2021and should thus reprise his role in the return game this coming season. Whether he sees more opportunities as a pass…read more

  • Makes two trips to end zone

    Olszewski turned his only target into a 38-yard touchdown and added a 70-yard punt return touchdown during Sunday's 45-0 win over the Chargers.

    Analysis: Olszewski put his team out to a 14-point lead when he returned a punt down the sideline to paydirt in the second quarter and capped off the scoring with a 38-yard touchdown reception from Jarrett Stidham in the final minutes. He came into the game with just five carries and two receptions to his name this season, so the two-score effort was certainly surprising. Olszewski could make the case for more involvement in the offense moving forward after flashing his potential in this one, but he…read more

  • Logs three carries in Week 9

    Olszewski carried three times for 16 yards and lost a yard on his only catch in Monday's 30-27 win over the Jets.

    Analysis: Olszewski logged 35 (out of a possible 81) snaps on offense in the contest, as his role has expanded of late with Julian Edelman (knee) on IR and N'Keal Harry dealing with a concussion. Despite the added work, Olszewski's impact outside of the team's return game has remained modest.

  • Logs 42 snaps Sunday

    Olszewski recorded one carry for six yards in Sunday's 24-21 loss to the Bills.

    Analysis: With Julian Edelman (knee) on IR and N'Keal Harry out with a concussion, Olszewski started and logged 42 of a possible 65 snaps on offense Sunday, but he didn't log a target. If Harry returns in Week 9 and/or the Patriots add wide receiver help prior to Tuesday's trade deadline, Olszewski could see decreased snaps next Monday against the Jets. In any case, Olszewski is off the fantasy radar as long he remains an afterthought in New England's passing game.

  • Activated from IR

    Olszewski (foot) has been activated off IR in advance of Monday night's game against the Chiefs, Zack Cox of NESN.com reports.

    Analysis: The return of Olszewski will be a boost to the Patriots' return game, but he reenters the team's Week 4 mix behind Julian Edelman, N'Keal Harry and Damiere Byrd in the Patriots' wide receiver pecking order.

  • Resumes practicing

    Olszewski (foot) is participating in Wednesday's practice, Andrew Callahan of The Springfield Republican reports.

    Analysis: The Patriots have designated Olszewski to return from IR, meaning the team will have a 21-day window to add him to the active roster. He's expected to contribute as a depth wideout and option in the return game when healthy.

  • Lands on injured reserve

    Olszewski (foot) has been placed on injured reserve Saturday, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Olszewski was ruled out for the team's Week 1 matchup against Miami on Friday. However, he'll now be sidelined until at least Week 4. His absence will leave a void in both kick and punt return duties, with Matthew Slater and Damiere Byrd primary options to take over.

  • Unavailable against Dolphins

    Olszewski (foot) won't play in Sunday's game versus the Dolphins, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Olszewski looked good in training camp, but he sustained an injury recently and won't be available for the season opener. With N'Keal Harry (shoulder) considered questionable, the Patriots' receiver corps could be shorthanded in Week 1. Jakobi Meyers and Matthew Slater should both see increased reps to start the year as a result.

  • Limited by foot injury

    Olszewski (foot) was limited at practice Wednesday.

    Analysis: We now know that Olszewski is dealing with a foot issue, but his presence on the field this week suggests that he could be ready to go for Sunday's season opener against the Dolphins. Olszewski is part of a Patriots receiving corps that's work in progress. Though he's clearly behind both Julian and Edelman and N'Keal Harry in the team's pecking order -- and probably Damiere Byrd to start the season -- the team's lack of proven depth could open the door for expanded opportunities for Olszewski…read more

  • Spotted at Monday's practice

    Olszewski (undisclosed) was present for the media-access period following Monday's practice, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: While Olszewski was absent at the beginning of Monday's practice for an unspecified reason, it's encouraging that he got in some work toward the end while other injured players remained away from the team. It's unclear if Olszewski participated at full speed, but we should know more about the nature of his injury when the first official injury report is revealed Wednesday. The 23-year-old wideout was impressive in training camp and is slated to be the No. 4 receiver in New England once he's…read more

  • Has missed practice

    Olszewski has missed practice of late with an unspecified issue, Zack Cox of NESN.com reports.

    Analysis: On the plus side, the 6-foot, 190-pounder survived roster cuts, and as the team's receiving corps presently stands, the Bemidji State product is is a break or two away from entering the fantasy equation. It's possible that further roster moves are on the horizon for the Patriots, but Olszewski's strong training camp made it easier for the team to move on from veteran Mohamed Sanu and waive both Jeff Thomas and Devin Ross.

  • Having good camp

    Olszewski has had a strong training camp, Doug Kyed of NESN.com reports.

    Analysis: With that in mind, Kyed indicates that to date, "Olszewski has looked like the second best WR in camp behind Julian Edelman." A strong camp and the fact that he can be a factor as a returner help Olszewski's chances of making the Patriots' regular-season roster, but he's clearly behind Edelman, N'Keal Harry and Mohamed Sanu in the team's wide receiver pecking order. The 6-foot, 190-pounder also has the likes of Damiere Byrd and Jakobi Meyers to contend with for depth slotting.

  • Clear of ankle injury

    Olszewski (ankle) was taking part in informal throwing sessions with quarterback Jarrett Stidham and other wideouts, Christopher Smith of Mass Live reports.

    Analysis: The 23-year-old caught two passes for 34 yards and averaged nine yards on 20 punt returns in eight games before landing on injured reserve with an ankle issue in November, but he apparently didn't have any problems during his recovery. Olszewski figures to compete for a depth role and could also split punt return duties with Julian Edelman again in 2020.

  • Placed on injured reserve

    Olszewski (ankle) was placed on injured reserve by the Patriots on Tuesday, Jim McBride of The Boston Globe reports.

    Analysis: Accordingly, Olszewski's season is over. He totaled two catches for 34 yards on the season to go with 179 yards on punt returns. Mohamed Sanu (ankle) handled punt-return duties in Week 11 against the Eagles and if healthy, figures to share those duties with Julian Edelman going forward.

  • No-go for Week 11

    Olszewski (ankle) is officially inactive for Sunday's game against the Eagles.

    Analysis: Olszewski practice in a limited basis Friday and, as evidenced by this news, seems to be dealing with an issue serious enough to force him to miss time. In his stead, Matthew Slater and Julian Edelman will be called upon to handle kick- and punt-return duties respectively.

  • Officially questionable

    Olszewski (ankle/hamstring) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Eagles.

    Analysis: Olszewski was limited in Friday's practice due to ankle and hamstring issues. If the rookie were forced to miss any time, Matthew Slater and Julian Edelman would be called upon to field kicks and punts, respectively.

  • Healthy going forward

    Olszewski (ankle) was absent from the injury report Wednesday.

    Analysis: Olszewski missed the Week 9's loss to the Ravens, but he leveraged the bye week to get healthy. The rookie wideout will suit up for Sunday's game against the Ravens, but he's not expected to have a major role on offense, especially with rookie first-round pick N'Keal Harry in line for his NFL debut.

  • Unavailable for SNF

    Olszewski (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Ravens.

    Analysis: The rookie receiver's main contribution is as a returner. Matthew Slater figures to return kicks while Julian Edelman could field punts in Olszewski's place.

  • Questionable Week 9

    Olszewski (ankle/hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Ravens, Zack Cox of NESN.com reports.

    Analysis: Olszewksi played through the ankle and hamstring injuries last week after being listed as questionable and appears primed to do so again Week 9. The 22-year-old should work as the Patriots' primary return man, assuming he suits up.
