FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- New York Giants kick returner Gunner Olszewski left Monday night's game against the New England Patriots with a concussion after taking a helmet-to-helmet hit from linebacker Christian Elliss .

Olszewski was returning a kickoff late in the first half when he was first spun sideways by Marte Mapu , leaving him exposed to be hit by Elliss. There was no penalty on the play because Olszewski was a ball carrier.

Olszewski fumbled on the play and it was recovered by the Patriots. The hit was seemingly hard enough that it chipped the paint off his helmet decal .

Part of Gunner Olszewski's helmet decal came off after taking a hit to the head on the kickoff return.
