CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave left Bank of America Stadium on a backboard and was taken to a local hospital after sustaining his second concussion of the season on Sunday.

The Saints said Olave had movement in all his extremities.

Olave was hit in the head and neck area for his third straight game this season while attempting to catch a high pass across the middle of the field from Saints quarterback Derek Carr. Olave hit the ground and did not get up as officials threw multiple flags for unnecessary roughness.
