The New Orleans Saints welcome back wide receiver Chris Olave from an ankle injury as they take on the Los Angeles Rams on Thursday night, as announced by head coach Dennis Allen.
Olave had played in every game this season prior to last Sunday when he was inactive due to said ankle injury. The Saints still managed to pick up a 24-6 win over the New York Giants without their top receiver, their second consecutive victory.
With just three weeks remaining in the NFL regular season, New Orleans will be glad to have QB Derek Carr's favourite target back as they make a push for the playoffs. Olave with 72 receptions for 918 yards and four touchdowns leads the team in all three categories.
The Saints are currently tied with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers atop the NFC South with a 7-7 record and are one game ahead of the 6-8 Atlanta Falcons.
