CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Cincinnati Bengals linebacker Vontaze Burfict seemed to be very familiar with the Carolina Panthers’ injury report Sunday.

Quarterback Cam Newton and tight end Greg Olsen have each had ankle issues this season, and when they both scored touchdowns on Sunday, Burfict appeared to twist their ankles.

Burfict has been fined multiple times by the league for past transgressions, and on Monday, Olsen called for a stiffer punishment.

“I think instances like that, that are so clearly premeditated that he had in his mind if those opportunities, that he was going to try to attack not only guys’ legs, but guys who were coming off ankle problems specifically, there’s no room for it. I think the punishment needs to go beyond a fine,” Olsen said.

“The league says they care about player safety. We’ll find out what they really think.”
