Overview

• 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.
