Watch: Redskins linebacker ejected for this head shot on Greg Olsen

The NFL has changed a lot since the Redskins were relevant back in the peak of the Joe Gibbs era. You simply can’t hit players like this anymore. Watch Washington linebacker Ryan Anderson lay an egregious head shot on Panthers tight end Greg Olsen.

Anderson was flagged for a 15-yard penalty and rightly ejected from the game. Olsen is now in the locker room getting looked at. There’s a good chance he suffered a concussion on that one.

After a promising start, this has turned into the sloppiest game of the year. The Panthers trail 15-14 late in the third quarter.

Update:

Olsen is indeed in the concussion protocol and will not return.
