Saints' Chris Olave: Unlikely to play this week
New Orleans Saints interim head coach Darren Rizzi said Chris Olave (concussion) isn't likely to return from injured reserve this week, but still has "all options on the table," Luke Johnson of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.In other words, the Saints aren't shutting Olave down for the season -- at least not yet -- but he's unlikely to play this Sunday against the Commanders when first eligible to return from IR. Olave sustained his second concussion of the season and his third in less than a year in the Saints' Week 9 loss to the Panthers on Nov. 3.

Saints' Chris Olave: Will visit specialist next week
New Orleans Saints interim head coach Darren Rizzi said Wednesday that Chris Olave (concussion) will meet with a specialist next week before the team provides an update on his status, Jacob Camenker of USA Today reports.Olave was placed on injured reserve Nov. 9, just under a week after he sustained his second concussion of the season and his fourth documented concussion in just over four calendar years. According to Rizzi, Olave is in "great spirits" and has been feeling well enough to attend Saints practices, but the coach wouldn't commit to the receiver returning to practice Week 15, when New Orleans is first able to open his 21-day evaluation window. The Saints will have a better idea regarding Olave's chances of playing in their final four games once he visits the specialist, but given the receiver's history of concussions as well as the 4-8 Saints' place in the standings, it wouldn't be surprising if he was shut down for the season.

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.
