New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave is Winning Exchangeout of the Week 9 game against the Carolina Panthers.
Olave needed to be carted off the field during the first quarter after he made a catch and then took a brutal hit sandwiched between two defenders. Four officials flagged Panthers safety Xavier Woods for unnecessary roughness on the play.
The wideout remained down on the field for a long time after the hit and was taken off on a stretcher while wearing a neck brace. The receiver appeared to be conscious and moving while on the cart to the locker room.
Olave has suffered three documented concussions since entering the NFL, including one in Week 6 that kept him out for an additional game. He also suffered an additional concussion while in college at Ohio State.
