Chris Olave’s brother gives a positive update after WR left the game on the stretcher

Leading receiver of the New Orleans Saints Chris Olave received a hard blow to the head after attempting to catch a pass from Derek Carr early in the Week 9 game against the Carolina Panthers. Olave lay there for a while and was eventually put on a plate and taken away.

Olave was observed with limited movement in his limbs when he left the field, a positive sign. His brother Josh provided an update on X (formerly Twitter) after hearing from his brother. He said the Saints receiver is active.

Olave’s status will certainly be one of the main topics head coach Dennis Allen will be asked about after the game. He has already missed one game this year due to a concussion. This is the fourth concussion Olave has suffered in his professional career. He is in the middle of his third NFL season.

Watching it unfold on TV, former teammate Michael Thomas had scathing reviews for Derek Carr which he released on social media. Thomas has previously been critical of Carr, suggesting that risky passing decisions and placement have put receivers in dangerous situations ripe for injury.
