New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave exited the Week 1 game against the Detroit Lions yet again after an apparent leg injury in the fourth quarter. This went down just moments after he’d already piled up 112 yards on seven receptions. Talk about a gut punch when a guy is absolutely cooking!
Double Trouble on the Sideline
This wasn’t even the first time Olave had to leave the field in this game. He actually exited the contest earlier in the first half before he came back in. Seeing him go down for a second time, especially after he was racking up those yards, felt like a real kick to the stomach. What a frustrating way to start the season for him, and for Saints fans watching this unfold.
Lower Right Leg Under Scrutiny
Right now, Olave is in the medical tent for the second time, and it’s definitely looking like some kind of leg issue. Jeff Duncan of the *Times-Picayune* reported it straight up: “Chris Olave has gone into the injury tent. He came up gimpy after that last catch and came off the field. Trainers were looking at his lower right leg.” So it’s his lower right leg getting all the attention. We’re all just holding our breath waiting to hear more on his status for the rest of this game.
