New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave is still in the NFL's five-step concussion protocol and was ruled out for the Week 7 game against the Denver Broncos. His absence is significant for the Saints' offense, especially with fellow receiver Rashid Shaheed also sidelined due to a knee injury. Olave will need to gain full medical clearance to play in Week 8 against the Los Angeles Chargers.

• Chris Olave's concussion status is critical for the Saints' offensive plans.
• With both Olave and Shaheed out, the Saints may struggle to find reliable receiving options.
