CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Saints wide receiver Chris Olave was discharged from Carolinas Medical Center and allowed to return to New Orleans on Sunday night with his teammates after taking a hard hit on a pass over the middle in a 23-22 loss to the Carolina Panthers.
The throw prompted Saints quarterback Derek Carr to defend himself after the game following criticism from an ex-teammate.
Olave sustained a concussion in the first quarter following a scary hit from Panthers safety Xavier Woods, resulting in him being placed on a backboard and taken to the hospital for observations.
The Saints said Olave had use of all of his extremities.
