Saints' Chris Olave: Shifts to injured reserve
Chris Olave (concussion) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.After suffering his second concussion in a month, and third concussion in a calendar year, this was expected. The star target will be out at least until mid-December, at which point it's possible the team will decide whether it's worth bringing back Olave altogether given New Orleans likely won't be in the playoff hunt. Expect more information regarding his playing status to come later in November.

Saints' Chris Olave: Expected to land on IR
Chris Olave (concussion) is expected to be placed on injured reserve, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.Olave has already been ruled for Sunday's game against the Falcons, with Rapoport indicating that the anticipated move is expected to occur Saturday. In that scenario, Olave, who sustained his second concussion of the season during Week 9 action against the Panthers, would be in line to miss at least the New Orleans Saints' next four games. With Cedrick Wilson (shoulder) also out this week, Mason Tipton, Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Jermaine Jackson are the available wide receivers currently on New Orleans' active roster.

Saints' Chris Olave: Ruled out for Week 10
Interim coach Darren Rizzi said Friday that Chris Olave (concussion) won't play Sunday against the Falcons, John Hendrix of SI.com reports.Rizzi also told Hendrix that a stint on injured reserve is "on the table" for Olave as the wide receiver meets with specialists to determine the best course of action after he suffered a concussion this past Sunday at Carolina that resulted in a visit to the hospital. The New Orleans Saints have a Week 12 bye on the schedule, so it likely would behoove them to make an IR decision this week with the four-game caveat in mind. With Cedrick Wilson (shoulder) also ruled out for Week 10, Mason Tipton, Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Jermaine Jackson are the healthy wide receivers on the Saints' active roster.

Saints' Chris Olave: Meeting with specialists
New Orleans Saints interim head coach Darren Rizzi said Wednesday that Chris Olave (concussion) is meeting with specialists, and no decision has been made regarding whether the receiver will be placed on injured reserve, Matthew Paras of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.Rizzi subtly acknowledged the possibility of an extended absence for Olave, who suffered his second concussion of the season and fourth of his NFL career during Sunday's 23-22 loss to the Panthers. The wideout also suffered a concussion in 2020 during his time at Ohio State. Olave didn't practice Wednesday and appears highly unlikely to play this Sunday against the Falcons.

Saints' Chris Olave: Logs 107 yards in return
Chris Olave had eight receptions (on 14 targets) for 107 yards during Sunday's 26-8 defeat to the Chargers.Olave eclipsed 100 receiving yards for the first time this season. He also logged a season high in targets and matched his season high for receptions. This all took place in a game during which Olave temporarily exited for a concussion check and rookie quarterback Spencer Rattler was benched for second-year signal-caller Jake Haener midway through the third quarter. With No. 2 wideout Rashid Shaheed now out for the season with a meniscus injury, Olave could continue to see an increase in targets moving forward. He'll hope to have another productive outing with QB1 Derek Carr (oblique) expected to return for next week's game versus the Panthers on Sunday, Nov. 3.

Saints' Chris Olave: Clears concussion protocol
Chris Olave cleared concussion protocol and will be available for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.Olave already looked on track to be available this weekend after turning in a full practice Thursday, but Terrell's report confirms that the wideout now has received clearance from an independent neurologist, the final stage of the five-step protocol. After sitting out last week's loss to the Broncos, Olave should be ready to reprise his usual duties as the New Orleans Saints' No. 1 wideout, though he'll be on the receiving end of passes from rookie Spencer Rattler rather than Derek Carr (oblique), the latter of whom is expected to miss a third straight start. Olave suited up in Rattler's first NFL start back in Week 6, but the former played just two snaps before exiting with the concussion.
