Olave narrowly missed securing the high toss ... and was met with a brutal blow from safety Xavier Woods, who was flagged for unnecessary roughness.
Olave laid on the ground after the hit to his head ... and was eventually stretchered off the field and taken to a nearby hospital. Thankfully, he was cleared to rejoin his teammates and fly home after the game.
It was the former Ohio State star's second concussion of the season and fourth of his pro career ... and despite the positive updates from Olave shortly after the play, his brother had a blunt take on the situation.
One X user questioned if it was time to have the "is it worth it?" talk and start thinking about the athlete's future ... and Josh Olave was quick to share his thoughts.
"Ain't worth it in Nola, I'll tell you that," Josh said.
Olave's bro wasn't the only one pissed off -- former Saints standout Michael Thomas pointed the finger at Carr for setting his teammates up ... saying, "Dude. Scary and panic and just throw the ball."
"Get him the f out of here he is so ass."
Carr later addressed MT's comments ... saying he tried to reach out to Thomas to handle things civilly, but no luck.
As for Olave, he let his fans know he's doing okay ... posting, "Thank God Preciate all the love & prayers ima be aight."
