Is Chris Olave playing today? (Latest injury update for Lions vs. Saints in NFL Week 13)

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave reportedly is expected to play in Week 13 against the Detroit Lions.

After missing practice time early in the week due to a concussion, Olave returned to a session on Friday, which put him on track for Sunday’s game. 

Olave’s presence should be a massive boost for the New Orleans offense.

Chris Olave OVER 5.5 receptions

The Lions defense has been exposed a bit as of late, especially on Thanksgiving Day against the Green Bay Packers. 

Now, the team has to face an elite receiver like Olave who has made six or more receptions in three straight games. 

There has been a ton of volume for Olave as well, as he’s been targeted at least eight times in each of his last six matchups. I expect a big day for him on Sunday.

Chris Olave injury history

This is the second time in the NFL that Olave has suffered a concussion, something to keep an eye on going forward this season. 

Olave was also concussed back in October of last season. He seems to have recovered well for ?Week 13, but it’s worth monitoring since this is his second head injury in as many seasons. 

When is Chris Olave coming back?

Olave is expected to play in Week 13 despite being listed as questionable with a concussion. He had returned to practice late in the week, a sign that he’d be able to go in this game.
