Big Blue fears that WR/KR Gunner Olszewski suffered a torn Achilles during Friday afternoon's practice session, according to numerous reports.

Olszewski went down with the non-contact injury coming off the line on a route.

According to Dan Duggan of the Athletic, Olszewski showed significant frustration as he went down in pain and grabbed toward his lower right leg.

Teammates were clearly affected as the receiver was carted off the field.

Olszewski is expected to undergo further testing over the weekend to confirm the injury.
