New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave is contemplating the use of a Guardian Cap for the upcoming game against the Carolina Panthers after suffering a concussion in Week 6. The Guardian Cap, designed to mitigate head injuries, has reportedly reduced concussions by 52% according to NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell.
Olave has a history of concussions, having missed two games in his career due to head injuries. He was recently ruled out after a concussion sustained in Week 7 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Although he considered wearing the Guardian Cap in previous games, he opted for a new helmet instead, believing it provided adequate protection.
