Saints wide receiver Chris Olave listed as questionable for Week 2 matchup
Chris Olave was added to the New Orleans Saints’ injury report with a hamstring issue and is listed as questionable for the upcoming game against the Baltimore Ravens.
The New Orleans Saints placed wide receiver Chris Olave on the injury report on Wednesday, citing a hamstring concern, and listed him as questionable for the Week 2 contest with the Baltimore Ravens. Team officials observed Olave during the option portion of media practice on Thursday, and coach Kellen Moore said the player left the field under his own power after a brief incident that resulted in a wind-knocked feeling, but indicated there was no serious injury.
Olave, 26, missed the end of the previous season after a blood clot was discovered in his lung and was on blood-thinner therapy throughout the offseason. He was cleared to practice fully on Tuesday and has participated in most drills since then. The veteran receiver finished last season with 151 targets, ranking sixth in the league, and is expected to remain a primary target in the Saints’ offense.
The team’s medical staff has not provided a timeline for Olave’s return, and his status for Friday’s practice will be closely watched. Saints officials have not commented on any potential contract extension, though discussions are reportedly ongoing.
