Chris Olave carted off after scary hit vs. Panthers
This is the worst thing to see in an NFL game. New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave was carted off on an immobilizing stretcher after a scary hit from Carolina Panthers safety Xavier Woods. Derek Carr's pass sailed too high for Olave to catch it and the wideout was sandwiched between Woods and the Panthers defender covering him. He remained motionless on the turf after the collision.
Players from both teams crowded around as the medical staff attended to Olave, as did Saints coach Dennis Allen. It's an awful situation. Olave raised his arms after he was placed on the cart, which is a great sign, but he's already suffered three concussions in his brief NFL career. He practiced this week with a unique Guardian cap over his helmet and considered wearing it into the game, but ultimately chose not to. Few players do.
Hopefully this wasn't as serious as it looked, but Olave shouldn't be expected to return to this game against the Panthers. Stay tuned for updates.
