Saints' Chris Olave Has Seen Multiple Specialists After Concussion, HC Rizzi Says

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave has consulted with multiple specialists while recovering from his second concussion of the 2024 NFL season.

Saints interim head coach Darren Rizzi said that Olave is due to meet with another expert as well.

"He's still going through that whole process," Rizzi told reporters. "He's met with a bunch of people, he's got another meeting coming up here next week. He's met with some different specialists throughout the country. ... He's in a good place."

Olave was on hand for Tuesday's practice.

The third-year pass-catcher suffered his most recent concussion in New Orleans' 23-22 loss to the Carolina Panthers on Nov. 3. He has had four since entering the NFL in 2022.

Rizzi made it clear at the time that Olave's health took priority over anything else.

"We're more worried about Chris Olave the person and making sure that everything's good," he said. "Then once he goes through that process, we'll bring it back to football to see how that fits in. When I say day to day, it sounds like coach-speak. He's kind of seeing some specialists and we'll go through the process."

The Saints have yet to rule Olave out for the current season. While they placed him on injured reserve, he's eligible to return after sitting out four games. He could suit up as early as New Orleans' Week 15 clash with the Washington Commanders.

Given how cautiously the team is handling the matter, along with the fact Olave is still seeking medical guidance, he may have played his last game for 2024.
