New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave could be making a return to the field after making progress in his recovery from multiple concussions suffered this season.
Olave was reportedly cleared to practice after meeting with a specialist Tuesday in an attempt to gain more clarity on his recent concussions.
Head coach Darren Rizzi said that it is unlikely Olave will play Monday against Green Bay but his 21-day practice window will be open, allowing him to get some practice reps this week.
Chris Olave got cleared by a specialist on Tuesday to resume practicing. He’s going to get some practice reps in, see how things feel and go from there.

He was back at practice working off to the side in a jersey, which is a good sign overall.
At this point in the year, it may not be worth the risk for Olave to suit up again. However, having him in the lineup would allow us to see Spencer Rattler with his top target, as well as a healthy offensive line in this final stretch.
