Saints WR Chris Olave (ankle) to play vs. Rams
New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave will be active and play in Thursday’s game against the host Los Angeles Rams, coach Dennis Allen announced.
Allen said Wednesday that Olave is “good to go” versus the Rams. The news came three days after the wideout sat out his first game of the season in New Orleans’ 24-6 victory over the New York Giants due to an ankle injury.
Olave sustained the injury during the Saints’ 28-6 win over the Carolina Panthers on Dec. 10.
Olave, 23, leads the team in receptions (72) and receiving yards (918). He is tied for the lead in touchdown receptions (four).
Right tackle Ryan Ramczyk, however, will sit out a second straight game due to a knee injury. Landon Young likely will start in his place for the Saints (7-7).
