CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- A frustrating offensive day for the Carolina Panthers became more so on Sunday when Pro Bowl tight end Greg Olsen was placed in the concussion protocol after a vicious helmet-to-helmet hit by Washington Redskins linebacker Ryan Anderson.
Anderson was ejected for the hit, which happened with 4:34 left in the third quarter and the Redskins leading 15-14.
Olsen laid motionless on the ground for a few seconds before trainers helped him to his feet. He went to the sideline tent to be evaluated for a concussion and then walked to the locker room for further examination.
