Chris Olave considers wearing Guardian Cap for safety in upcoming game

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave is considering wearing a Guardian Cap in the upcoming game against the Carolina Panthers. He recently suffered a concussion in Week 6 and is exploring options to enhance his safety on the field. The Guardian Cap is a padded helmet cover designed to reduce the risk of concussions. NFL commissioner Roger Goodell reported a 52% decrease in concussions since their introduction. While most players wear them in practice, they can choose to wear them in games. Olave wore a Guardian Cap during practice but did not have it on Thursday. He has missed two games in his career due to concussions and previously switched to a new helmet, believing it provided better protection. Several players in the league have opted to wear Guardian Caps during games this season.
