Chris Olave Will Practice This Week, Still Trying To Return In Week 18
2 days agoNew Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave (concussion) will practice on Wednesday. Interim head coach Darren Rizzi said that Olave is one of the team's injured players asking to return for the Week 18 regular-season finale against the division-rival Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday. The head coach said that Olave has been looking like the Olave of old, but his availability is a matter of his conditioning level and the medical staff giving the green light. The 24-year-old former first-rounder was put on Injured Reserve after a second concussion this year. He has not played in a game since Week 9, so even if he were to come off IR and play in Week 18 in a good matchup, Olave would be a volatile play in fantasy lineups in a bad offense that is being run by rookie QB Spencer Rattler. The Saints have already been eliminated from postseason play, so it's still unlikely Olave makes a return this year.
