Overview

  • Olave is listed as questionable after missing Wednesday’s practice and logging limited sessions Thursday and Friday.
  • Team and national reporters say he is expected to suit up against Tampa Bay despite a lingering back issue.
  • The receiver managed back spasms last week and still posted 4 catches for 47 yards and a touchdown versus Miami.
  • New Orleans ruled out running back Alvin Kamara for Week 14, elevating Olave’s role in a low-scoring offense.
  • Olave has played all 12 games and leads the Saints with 73 receptions, 781 yards and five touchdowns as the 2-10 club evaluates rookie QB Tyler Shough.
