The Saints turned the ball over after wide receiver Chris Olave took a big hit.
UPDATE: The Saints have ruled Chris Olave OUT with a concussion. He will not return in Week 6.
The New Orleans Saints have sent wide receiver Chris Olave to the locker room to get checked out for a head injury. Midway through the first quarter, Olave caught a pass from quarterback Spencer Rattler and took a big hit from Tykee Smith. He fumbled the ball and subsequently was put through an initial concussion screening.
Chris Olave –
Looked very dazed after taking this shot. Likely screened for concussion, which I would assume he’s then ruled out. pic.twitter.com/FSC3RaSf7t
