Chris Olave Status revealed ahead of Week 6 battle against Cincinnati
Published:
NFL week 6 is about to kick off here in under an hour, with a bunch of former B1G players getting suited up to play for their pro teams. Former Ohio State WR Chris Olave was ruled out today for the Saints for not clearing protocol.
According to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network:
Actives/inactives:
— #Bengals WR Tee Higgins is up.
— #Patriots QB Mac Jones is out, and so is RB Damien Harris.
— #Dolphins OT Terron Armstead is out.
— #Falcons TE Kyle Pitts is active.
— #Saints WR Chris Olave is out after not clearing the protocol.— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) October 16, 2022
Olave has had a great start to his rookie season, with 25 receptions for 389 yards and 2 touchdowns for NOLA.
The former Buckeyes star was taken just outside the top 10 as the No. 11 overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft last April.
Olave was a monster at Ohio State, catching 175 balls for 2,702 yards and a whopping 35 touchdowns.
The Saints will surely miss him today as they face defending AFC champion Cincinnati Bengals in the Super Dome.
