CHRIS OLAVE NEWS

Expected to play Saints coach Dennis Allen said Wednesday that Olave (ankle) will play in Thursday's game at the Rams, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact The Saints listed Olave as a limited participant Tuesday after a walkthrough, hinting at some level of progress after he missed practice last week and was inactive for a 24-6 win over the Giants on Sunday. Allen said Olave will play Thursday night, though the coach didn't specify whether or not the wideout will be listed with a game designation on the final injury report Thursday afternoon.

Inactive in Week 15 Olave (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's contest against the Giants.

Impact Olave was able to play through an illness last Sunday against the Panthers, but an ankle injury kept him off the practice field Wednesday through Friday and left his availability for Week 15 up to a pregame workout, per Adam Schefter of ESPN. With the Saints confirming his inactive status Sunday, Olave will miss his first game of the campaign and third outing in his two years as a pro. In Olave's place, New Orleans will roll with Rashid Shaheed, Lynn Bowden, A.T. Perry, Keith Kirkwood and Marquez Callaway at wide receiver.

Questionable for Sunday's contest Olave (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Giants, Matthew Paras of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

Impact The Saints held Olave out of practice both Wednesday and Thursday due to an ankle injury, and coach Dennis Allen said Friday that the wide receiver's availability for Week 15 will go "right to the wire" ahead of Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. Olave has either surpassed 100 receiving yards or recorded a touchdown in the past five games, so his status is key for New Orleans offense.

Misses practice with illness Olave was sidelined for practice Thursday due to an illness, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

Impact After sustaining a concussion in the Saints' Week 12 loss to the Falcons, Olave was able to quickly clear the five-step protocol and suited up in this past Sunday's loss to the Lions, logging a 61 percent snap share while finishing with five catches for 119 yards on eight targets. Olave wasn't included on the Saints' initial Week 14 injury report, and while he seems to have avoided any setbacks in his recovery from the concussion following his return to action this past weekend, he's now apparently under the weather. Assuming Olave is able to get back on the practice field Friday, he should be cleared to play Sunday against the Panthers while serving as the No. 1 option in the passing game for either Derek Carr (concussion/rib/shoulder) or Jameis Winston.

Clears century mark in loss Olave brought in five of eight targets for 119 yards in the Saints' 33-28 loss to the Lions on Sunday.

Impact Olave was able to make an accelerated recovery from the concussion that forced an early Week 12 exit, and he finished with a team-high yardage total by a wide margin while tying for the lead in targets as well. The speedster didn't seem to show any ill effects from the head injury, and he's now recorded at least 94 receiving yards in three straight games while eclipsing the 100-yard mark in back-to-back contests for the first time on the campaign. Olave will next do battle against the Panthers' typically stingy pass defense in a Week 14 divisional clash.

Still in concussion protocol Coach Dennis Allen said Olave remains in the concussion protocol as of Friday, but "there's a chance that he could clear it" ahead of Sunday's game against the Lions, Matthew Paras...

Impact Olave has one step to pass before he'll gain clearance for game action, but it's the all-important evaluation from an independent neurologist. On a positive note, he's been able to practice all week, so he seems to be trending in a positive direction ahead of the weekend. Fellow wide receiver Rashid Shaheed (groin) hasn't mixed into drills at all this week, so the Saints' current healthy options at wide receiver on the active roster are A.T. Perry, Lynn Bowden and Keith Kirkwood.

Highlight reel touchdown catch Olave recorded six receptions on nine targets for 94 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-19 loss to the Vikings.

Impact Olave wasn't targeted in the first half but came alive in the final two quarters, particularly with Jameis Winston under center. Five of his six catches come on targets from Winston, including long gains of 26, 20 and 17 yards. However, the highlight of Olave's performance came midway through the third quarter when he out-jumped Byron Murphy and tapped his toes in the corner of the end zone to record his third touchdown of the season. His 94 yards also marked his highest total in a game since Week 6.
