Star former Ohio State wide receiver Chris Olave is expected to miss New Orleans’ crucial Week 16 game against Cleveland Thursday night.

Olave was a non-participant this week in practice for the Saints with a hamstring injury. The star rookie leads all Saints receivers with 940 yards and 3 touchdowns this season.

To add insult to injury for New Orleans, fellow WR Jarvis Landry is also expected to miss Thursday night’s game.

The Saints have had it rough this season. New Orleans sits at 5-9 on the year and have a very outside shot of reaching the playoffs. With Olave and other key players out, their climb is that much harder.
