New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave was ejected from the team's game against the Carolina Panthers on Sunday after a violent hit in the first quarter.

Saints quarterback Derek Carr found Olave streaking in the middle of the field. Carr shot the ball over the receiver's head. He was sandwiched between two Panthers defenders. Olave was hit and immediately landed face down on the ground, barely able to move.

While play was suspended, medical professionals entered the field. Olave was then placed on a backboard and carried from the field on a cart.

The Saints later said Olave would be out with a concussion.

It was a tough season for Olave, who took a lot of hits to the head area. He left a game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers due to a hard shot in the head.

He was listed on the injury report last week with a concussion and was able to recover to play against the Los Angeles Chargers. He had eight catches for 107 yards, but the Saints lost 27-8.

New Orleans selected Olave in the first round of the 2022 draft. He played 38 games in his career before taking the field against Carolina. He had 190 catches for 2,552 yards and 10 touchdowns.

The Saints have struggled with serious injuries all season. Since going 2-0 with big wins over the Philadelphia Eagles and Dallas Cowboys, New Orleans has suffered six straight losses.
