Saints share another positive update regarding Chris Olave's status
The New Orleans Saints suffered a tough blow early in their matchup against the Carolina Panthers, as wide receiver Chris Olave suffered a concussion and was sent to Atrium Health Carolinas Medical Center for evaluation. According to the CBS broadcast and the Saints' public relations account, Olave was discharged from the hospital and will fly home with the team after the game ends.
"One last Chris Olave update guys, and it's a good one," CBS sideline reporter Amanda Balionis said on the broadcast. "He's on his way back to the stadium and he will be flying home with the team."
This is an enormously positive sign, as the initial contact and injury most definitely looked very concerning as he went face down onto the field. Thankfully, Olave will be able to travel with the team back to New Orleans. Given his previous history of concussions, it is good to hear he was discharged and was not held for further evaluation.
