What It Means:

The Seahawks designated the veteran to return from the injured reserve and he was able to put in limited reps in practice this week, but from the sounds of things he may still be a couple weeks away from a return. The Seahawks opened a 21-day window when they designated him to return and will be able to activate him at any point during that span of time.

No tight end has really emerged for the Seahawks with Olsen sidelined, but Olsen himself was only the fourth or fifth option in their passing game before suffering his foot injury. Olsen hasn't scored since Week 1 and has a season-high of 61 receiving yards so far this year.
