THIS IS AWFUL: #Saints star WR Chris Olave is down on the field and is being stretchered off the field after taking a nasty hit to the head.

Olave has struggled with multiple concussions in the last couple years, this is really bad.
What steps must rookie Malik Nabers make to return to play?
Former NFL Head Athletic Trainer @SNFMikeRyan breaks down the stages of the #NFLโs concussion protocol.
The Guardian Cap reduces head impact to help prevent #concussions. For training camp practices, itโs mandatory for all players except QBโs, Kโs, and Pโs to wear GCโs or highly graded helmets. This season theyโre allowed to wear GCโs in games.
Steelers right guard James Daniels is wearing a Guardian Cap in-game tonight vs. Texans. I believe he's the first NFL player to wear one in a preseason game.
Honored to attend @JSMPJAX 40-Year Celebration last night w/ my wife. Wonderful opp to thank local #athletictrainers , MDโs, and school/hospital admins who literally save lives.
Big Thx to #JSMP Ex Dir Bob Sefcik & Excellence in Sports Media Award winner @HeatherFCN. ๐
