New Orleans Saints star wide receiver Chris Olave is carted off the field after making a big throw on a play. Olave remained on the ground and the cart was immediately called. In what appeared to be a serious situation, the players knelt around the receiver.

The announcers covering the Saints game indicated that Olave was moving his hands and arms while being lifted onto the cart. The blow he suffered does not appear to have caused any serious damage to his spinal cord, which is big news.

Another video shows the hit that Olave took. He collided with two Panthers defenders and was immediately on the ground without moving.

Olave has already dealt with a concussion this season and another would add to the growing number of concussions he has suffered. This is a very serious situation and the hope is that the Saints receiver did not suffer any serious damage.

The good news is that Olave was able to move his extremities. As he is sent off the pitch, he is likely to miss the remainder of the game.
