CHRIS OLAVE NEWS

Unlikely for Week 6 Olave (concussion), officially listed as questionable, is unlikely to play Sunday against the Bengals, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact Even though Olave upgraded to full practice participation Friday, multiple Saints beat reporters suggested the rookie wideout didn't actually do much on the field during the open portion of the session. Olave also needs clearance from an independent neurologist to formally exit the concussion protocol, and Schefter's report suggests that's unlikely to happen prior to Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff. Olave's status won't be known one way or the other until 90 minutes prior to kickoff, but if he's unable to suit up, the Saints will be down each of their top three receivers. Michael Thomas (foot) and Jarvis Landry (groin) have already been ruled out for the contest.

Listed as questionable Olave (concussion) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bengals, Luke Johnson of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

Impact The Saints listed the rookie as a full practice participant Friday, though Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football relays that Olave didn't do much on the field during the open portion of practice. Olave apparently increased his activities when the doors were closed, and the Saints will give him a chance to clear the concussion protocol before their game against the Bengals kicks off at 1 p.m. ET. Fellow wide receivers Michael Thomas (foot), Jarvis Landry (ankle) and Deonte Harty (foot) have been ruled out, leaving the Saints with Olave, Marquez Callaway and Tre'Quan Smith on the active roster as healthy options at the position. Meanwhile, the Saints have Keith Kirkwood, Kirk Merritt and Kevin White available on the practice squad.

Officially limited Thursday Olave (concussion) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

Impact Olave didn't join his teammates in drills Wednesday, officially going down as a DNP, but Underhill reported after the session that the rookie wide receiver was in the third stage of the protocol for head injuries. With Thursday's development, Olave has taken another step in his recovery, taking part in football-specific exercise during the portion of Thursday's practice open to the media, according to Underhill. Olave will have a chance to bump to full Friday, but even if he doesn't he at least has put himself in a position to miss no time due to the concussion that he suffered this past Sunday versus the Seahawks.

Progressing through protocol Olave currently is in the third of five stages of the concussion protocol as of Wednesday, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

Impact Olave left the Saints' Week 5 win against the Seahawks in third quarter after his helmet hit the turf as he hauled in a touchdown. While he wasn't able to practice Wednesday, Olave took part in stretching before going to the side at the start of the session. His activity was consistent with the third stage of the protocol for head injuries, which allows for football-specific exercise. Next up will be non-contact drills, so Olave's status on Thursday's report may reveal that he's made additional progress.

DNP on Wednesday Olave (concussion) officially didn't practice Wednesday.

Impact Olave joined his teammates for stretching prior to Wednesday's session before going off to the side, according to Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football. On a positive note, Olave at least was on the field, which can't be said for fellow wide receivers Michael Thomas (foot), Jarvis Landry (ankle) and Deonte Harty (foot). Olave thus looks to have made some progress in his recovery from the concussion he sustained when his helmet banged the turf at the end of his third-quarter touchdown catch this past Sunday versus the Seahawks, and the rookie first-round pick still has two practices this week to make his presence felt in drills.

Makes appearance at practice Olave (concussion) took part in stretching before moving to a side field during Wednesday's practice, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports.

Impact Olave picked up a head injury when his helmet struck the turf as he was tackled to the ground during a touchdown catch this past Sunday against the Seahawks. It's unclear if he'll do enough to be termed as a limited participant at Wednesday's practice, but head coach Dennis Allen noted Wednesday that the rookie wide receiver remains in the concussion protocol, according to Erin Summers of the Saints' official site.

Impact Olave suffered a concussion after hitting his head on the turf while being tackled during his third-quarter touchdown. In the absence of Michael Thomas (foot) and Jarvis Landry (ankle), the rookie finished the contest with four receptions on six targets for 54 yards and the lone score. However, Olave and Deonte Harty (foot) both left the game, leaving Marquez Callaway, Tre'Quan Smith and Keith Kirkwood as the Saints' top healthy wideouts the rest of the way. Wednesday's practice report will give a better indication regarding which of New Orleans' pass catchers will be available Week 6 against the Bengals.

Makes most of seven targets Olave recorded four receptions on seven targets for 67 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 28-25 loss to the Vikings.

Impact Olave led the Saints receiving corps in targets, receptions and yards in the absence of Michael Thomas (foot). He showed good rapport with Andy Dalton, tallying long receptions that went for 32 and 20 yards. Olave also added a four-yard touchdown reception midway through the second quarter -- the first of his career. Olave has had a strong start to his rookie season and has tallied at least five receptions in three consecutive games. After Sunday's loss, Olave disclosed that he suffered a bone bruise on his leg, but it is not expected to be a serious issue, per Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football.
