Olave was putting together another nice day against the Seahawks onSunday, but he left the game after a touchdown reception that saw him spun to the ground and his helmet slammed into the turf.
Although the play was initially ruled incomplete, Saints coach Dennis Allen challenged the call and it was found the ball separated after Olave made a football move.
He was taken to the medical tent right after the fall.

Shortly after Olave was brought off the field, he was ruled out under the new concussion protocols.
The revised protocols, agreed upon by the NFL and the NFLPA this week, were implemented for Week 5. Teddy Bridgewater was also ruled out in the Dolphins-Jets game with similar symptoms.
Per Nick Underhill, Olave is questionable for Sunday’s game against the Bengals after being limited in practice Friday.
