Chris Olave Injury News
View AllChris Olave Might be Done for Season
The Saints are expected to place WR Chris Olave on IR ahead of Sunday's game against the Falcons, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. That would obviously mean at least four games down for Olave following his fifth career concussion. But he also might not play again this season.
Chris Olave Out With Concussion
Saints WR Chris Olave sustained a concussion in the first quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Bucs and won't return. It's Olave's fourth documented concussion. He's a long shot to be cleared in time for Thursday night's game vs. the Broncos.
Derek Carr Expected To Miss Multiple Games
Saints QB Derek Carr is expected to miss "multiple games" with the oblique injury he suffered in Monday night's loss to the Chiefs, NFL Network reports. He'll likely miss this weekend's game vs. the Bucs and the following Thursday's game against the Broncos. It sounds like he'll have a chance to be back for Week 8. New Orleans' bye isn't until Week 12.
