Saints wide receiver Chris Olave was put on a backboard and carted off the field in the first quarter of Sunday’s game against the Panthers.
— New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave left Bank of America Stadium on a backboard and was taken to a local hospital after sustaining his second concussion of the season on Sunday.
The Saints said Olave had movement in all of his extremities.
Olave was hit in the head and neck area for his third straight game this season while attempting to catch a high pass across the middle of the field from Saints quarterback Derek Carr midway through the first quarter. Olave hit the ground and did not get up as officials threw multiple flags for unnecessary roughness. Players and coaches from both teams gathered around Olave as the medical staff worked to strap him onto a backboard and load him onto the cart.
