Saints WR Chris Olave considering wearing Guardian Cap - ESPN

METAIRIE, La. — New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave said he's considering wearing a Guardian Cap in this week's game against the Carolina Panthers after sustaining a concussion in Week 6.

Olave was wearing the Saints' logo on his Guardian Cap in practice Wednesday, which was an indication he was considering wearing it in a game, but he did not have the logo on the cap during Thursday's practice.

Olave has missed two games in his NFL career because of concussions. He sustained a concussion in his rookie season in 2022 in Week 5 and missed the following game. He was ruled out of a Week 12 game against the Atlanta Falcons last year with a concussion but played the next week.
