New Orleans will be without three other starters, but Olave’s return boosts the team ahead of their game against Tampa Bay.
NEW ORLEANS — New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave is expected to play Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers despite being listed as questionable with a back injury.
Olave missed practice on Wednesday but returned on a limited basis for the next two sessions. His availability ensures the Saints will have their top receiver on the field against their NFC rival.
The team, however, will be without three other starters. Running back Alvin Kamara (knee), tackle Taliese Fuaga (ankle) and safety Justin Reid (knee) have all been ruled out.
Joining them on the Saints’ inactives list are cornerback Rejzohn Wright, tight end Zaire Mitchell-Paden, and defensive tackles John Ridgeway and Khristian Boyd.
