Saints share update on Chris Olave injury vs. Panthers
New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave has movement in his extremities and is being evaluated at Atrium Health Carolinas Medical Center after being diagnosed with a concussion against the Carolina Panthers on Sunday, the team announced on social media.
Olave briefly lost consciousness on the field after a big hit from Panthers safety Xavier Woods, who drew a foul for unnecessary roughness on the play. He was quickly ruled out for the remainder of the game.
This would be the fourth concussion in a series of brain injuries for Olave. The young pro has switched helmets and considered wearing a Guardian cap into games to better protect himself, but it's something that must be handled seriously. We may be entering the point where his NFL future should be contemplated. For now, though, here's to a full recovery.
