New Orleans Saints WR Chris Olave

Barring any late injury or setback, Chris Olave will play against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 16. New Orleans Saints coach Dennis Allen said on Wednesday:

"Olave is good to go."

Olave did not participate in practice on Monday due to his ankle injury and was a limited participant in Tuesday's training session. However, the wideout was a full participant in practice on Wednesday.

According to reports, Olave picked up an ankle injury in New Orleans' 28-6 win over the Carolina Panthers in Week 15. He caught four passes on 28 yards for a touchdown to help the Saints to their seventh win of the season.

Fortunately for New Orleans, Olave's injury wasn't too serious. He has made a recovery soon enough to likely feature in the Week 16 clash against the Rams on Thursday.
