NOVEMBER 3 • SPORTINGNEWS.COM
Carted off field Sunday Olave (undisclosed) was carted off the field during Sunday's game at Carolina, John Hendrix of SI.com reports.
Impact In the middle of the first quarter, Olave was on the receiving end of a pass from QB Derek Carr and was sandwiched between two Panthers defenders. Olave then remained motionless on the turf and was tended to by the Saints' medical and training staffs. The nature of Olave's injury isn't known, but there's a good chance his Week 9 is over.

Logs 107 yards in return Olave had eight receptions (on 14 targets) for 107 yards during Sunday's 26-8 defeat to the Chargers.
Impact 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 in a game in 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, it's likely that 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.

Clears concussion protocol Olave cleared concussion protocol and will be available for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.
Impact 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 has now received clearance from an independent neurologist, the final stage of the five-step protocol. After sitting out last week's loss to Broncos, Olave should be ready to reprise his usual duties as the Saints' No. 1 wideouts, though he'll be on the receiving end of passes from rookie Spencer Rattler rather than Derek Carr (oblique), who 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.

Full practice Thursday Olave (concussion) practiced in full Thursday, John Hendrix of SI.com reports.
Impact Olave sustained a concussion Sunday, Oct. 13 against the Buccaneers and sat out last Thursday's loss versus the Broncos, but he's made quick work this week by following up Wednesday's limited session with all activity one day later. It's unclear if he's made his way through the protocol for head injuries, but he'll need to gain clearance from an independent neurologist in order to return to action Sunday at the Chargers.
OCTOBER 24 • ROTOWIRE
Officially limited in return to practice Olave (concussion) practiced in a limited fashion Wednesday, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Making his first appearance on the field since suffering a concussion Sunday, Oct. 13 against the Buccaneers, Olave was operating with a cap on his reps, indicating he still has a few hurdles to get past in the protocol for head injuries, including clearance from an independent neurologist. His activity level Thursday and Friday may be telling for his chances to return to action Sunday at the Chargers.
OCTOBER 23 • ROTOWIRE
Back at practice Wednesday Olave (concussion) was present at practice Wednesday, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.
Impact Assuming he took part in some drills, it'd mark Olave's first visible on-field work since sustaining a concussion Sunday, Oct. 13 against the Buccaneers. The Saints have lost fellow WR Rashid Shaheed for the season due to meniscus surgery, and QB Derek Carr continues to be sidelined with an oblique issue, so getting Olave back will be key for the team's passing game. Wednesday's injury report will reveal how much work Olave was able to handle.
OCTOBER 23 • ROTOWIRE
Remains in concussion protocol Saints head coach Dennis Allen said Monday that Olave remains in the NFL's five-step concussion protocol, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Olave was unable to suit up last Thursday versus Denver, and he'll still need to gain full clearance -- including from an independent neurologist -- in order to be eligible to play Sunday versus the Chargers. With Rashid Shaheed (knee) having undergone season-ending knee surgery and the availability of quarterback Derek Carr (oblique) still uncertain for Week 8, it would provide a key boost for New Orleans' offense if Olave managed to gain clearance in time to play in Los Angeles. Mason Tipton, Cedrick Wilson and Bub Means will otherwise be in line to lead the Saints' wide receiver room.
