New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave attempted to catch a pass from quarterback Derek Carr across the middle of the field during Sunday's game against the Carolina Panthers. In the attempt, he sustained a head injury and lay on the ground for several minutes as the Saints' medical staff tended to him.
He was then placed on a backboard and taken off the field on the back of a cart. He gave his teammates high-fives as he was driven off the field.
Former New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas was quick to share his thoughts on the pass from Carr, which he believed put Olave in danger.
Olave's brother, Josh, agreed with Thomas' sentiments and re-shared the post on X.
