Saints' Chris Olave Placed on Injured Reserve Following Concussion

The wide receiver's second concussion of the season may sideline him for the rest of 2024 as he consults specialists.

Chris Olave, the New Orleans Saints' wide receiver, suffered his second concussion of the season during a game against the Carolina Panthers.
The Saints have placed Olave on injured reserve, requiring him to miss at least four games, with a possibility he may not return this season.
Olave has experienced five concussions since 2020, including two during his college career at Ohio State.
Interim Head Coach Darren Rizzi emphasizes prioritizing Olave's health and long-term well-being over his immediate return to play.
The Saints, struggling with a 2-7 record and recent coaching changes, are unlikely to rush Olave back given their current standing.
