Saints Face Major Setbacks with Key Players Out Due to Injuries

New Orleans Saints' offensive lineup hit hard as Chris Olave and Rashid Shaheed are sidelined, with Shaheed's season in jeopardy following knee surgery.

  • Chris Olave, a pivotal wide receiver for the Saints, has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Denver Broncos due to a concussion sustained in Week 6.
  • Rashid Shaheed, another key wide receiver, will undergo meniscus surgery, potentially sidelining him for the remainder of the 2024 season.
  • The Saints are currently struggling with a four-game losing streak and will face the Broncos without Olave, Shaheed, and quarterback Derek Carr, who is recovering from an oblique injury.
  • Rookie quarterback Spencer Rattler is set to start in Carr's absence, having already played in Week 6 with mixed results.
  • With 17 players listed as injured, the Saints' ability to maintain competitiveness in upcoming games is severely challenged.
