Early in Sunday afternoon's Week 9 contest against the Carolina Panthers, New Orleans Saints star wide receiver Chris Olave was stretchered out on a backboard after taking a hit to the head. Later reported as out, it's the fourth concussion he's suffered in the NFL. He's in just the third year of his professional career.
