Likely No. 1 wideout rest of season Olave appears set to serve as the Saints' top wideout for the rest of the season after head coach Dennis Allen announced Thursday that Michael Thomas (toe) was set to undergo surge...

Impact Thomas is heading to injured reserve on account of a dislocated second toe on his right foot, an injury that has prevented the three-time Pro Bowler from playing since Week 3. With Allen noting that the Saints aren't counting on Thomas to return before season's end, Olave should remain locked in for high target counts throughout the second half of the campaign. In the four games in which he's played that Thomas has missed -- the rookie sat out Week 6 with a concussion -- Olave has averaged five receptions for 69.8 yards on 8.5 targets per contest. Jarvis Landry (ankle) has also sat out three of those games and could siphon some looks away from Olave once he returns, but there should be enough targets to go around to keep both wideouts highly involved.

Makes five grabs Olave caught five of seven targets for 52 yards in Sunday's 24-0 win over the Raiders.

Impact Olave trailed only tailback Alvin Kamara in all major receiving categories. The rookie has now topped 50 yards through the air in six straight outings, showing impressive consistency despite a fluctuating Saints quarterback position. In Week 9, Olave is slated to make his first Monday night appearance, as New Orleans plays host to Baltimore.

Receiver Chris Olave continues to impress in his rookie season for New Orleans Saints Defensive end Cam Jordan up to 4.5 sacks this season

Clears century mark in return Olave brought in seven of 14 targets for 106 yards in the Saints' 42-34 loss to the Cardinals on Thursday night.

Impact The rookie led the Saints in receptions, receiving yards and targets in his return from a one-game absence due to a concussion. Olave recorded a 41-yard reception for his longest catch, and he naturally served as a primary target for Andy Dalton on a night when Michael Thomas (foot) and Jarvis Landry (ankle) were sidelined once again. Olave now has two 100-yard efforts in his first six career games, giving him plenty of momentum regardless of the availability of his position mates going into a Week 8 interconference home matchup against the Raiders a week from Sunday.

Saints receiver Olave expects to play against Cardinals

New Orleans Saints leading receiver Chris Olave says he expects to play in Arizona on Thursday night after missing last Sunday’s game because of a concussion

OCTOBER 18, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Not listed on injury report Olave wasn't listed on Monday's estimated injury report, Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Impact Olave has cleared the concussion protocol and should be good to go for Week 7. Michael Thomas (foot) and Jarvis Landry (ankle) continue to deal with lingering injuries, so Olave currently is in line to be the Saints' No. 1 wideout against the Cardinals on Thursday. Across five appearances, the rookie first-round pick has caught 25 of 42 targets for 389 yards and two scores.

Waiting for final clearance Olave passed all of the league's concussion protocol steps Monday and is waiting for final clearance, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Olave suffered the concussion during a touchdown catch in Week 5 and was sidelined for Week 6. However, he appears to be progressing well and could return to practice soon. Nonetheless, New Orleans has a quick turnaround into Thursday Night Football, so the Saints may not rush the rookie wideout into action in Week 7. Michael Thomas (foot) has missed three straight games and may wind up on IR, per Terrell, and Jarvis Landry (ankle) hasn't practiced since Week 4 prep, so if Olave is available against Arizona, he'd likely operate as the Saints' No. 1 receiver.

Higgins active, Olave scratched for Bengals-Saints matchup

Bengals receiver Tee Higgins has been activated and Saints leading receiver Chris Olave has been scratched for Cincinnati’s game at New Orleans

OCTOBER 16, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Not playing in Week 6 Olave (concussion) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Bengals.

Impact Since sustaining a concussion when his helmet hit the turf on a touchdown grab last Sunday versus the Seahawks, Olave made noticeable progress through league protocols, logging limited and full sessions to cap Week 6 prep. Still, Adam Schefter of ESPN reported late Saturday that Olave wasn't expected to suit up this weekend. Now that the rookie first-rounder's status is confirmed, Olave will join Michael Thomas (foot) and Jarvis Landry (ankle) on the sideline, leaving Tre'Quan Smith, Marquez Callaway, Keith Kirkwood, Rashid Shaheed and Kevin White to man wide receiver for the Saints.
