Saints WR continues to consult with concussion specialists

Saints WR continues to consult with concussion specialists

Chris Olave was spotted training on Tuesday, but that doesn’t necessarily mean his return is imminent. Everything indicates that the New Orleans Saints winger will miss the remainder of the season.

Darren Rizzi shared Olave’s progress update: “He met with a lot of people, he has another meeting here next week. He met with various specialists across the country.”

New Orleans is rightly being cautious with Olave, who is currently on injured reserve.

Olave suffered a concussion against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 10. It was his second concussion of the season and fourth of his three-year professional career. The severity may have been the same, but the aftereffects looked the worse of all his concussions.

Rizzi insists Olave is in a good place. It’s a positive sign if the emphasis is on the person rather than the player. This upcoming meeting seems to be an important step in understanding what Olave’s immediate future looks like. The Saints “will have a lot more information on him next week.”
