Reports: Saints WR Chris Olave out with blood clot

New Orleans Saints star wide receiver Chris Olave will miss Sunday’s season finale at Atlanta due to a blood clot in his lung, per multiple reports Thursday.

Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reported that the clot was caught early and that Olave’s “long-term outlook is good.”

Olave, 25, did not practice Wednesday due to what the team called an illness.

The Saints (6-10) selected Olave with the 11th overall pick of the 2022 NFL Draft.

He reached career highs this season for receptions (100), yards (1,163) and touchdowns (nine).
