After offensive outbursts in the first two weeks of the 2024 NFL season, the New Orleans Saints fell to the ground in a Week 3 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles.
Under new offensive coordinator Clint Kubiak, quarterback Derek Carr and the rest of the Saints offense have looked like a true pressure role that can move the football.
However, Philadelphia's defense was stumped by New Orleans, as the Saints failed to do anything besides quick tackles and short-range passes to Alvin Kamara.
Wide receiver Chris Olave has emerged as the Saints' top receiving option after a slow start to the season, but he was a late addition to the injury report from Week 4, after suffering a non-trino injury.
An injury over the weekend is never a big sign of a player's situation, and Olaf is a questionable choice for the outfit.
However, it looks like he could take the field against the Atlanta Falcons.
“Chris Olave will travel with the Saints to Atlanta and will still have a real chance to play on Sunday,” Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football said.

This is great news for the Saints and Olave, who will face the Falcons in an important NFC South matchup that could have playoff implications down the road.
Carr and Olaf have become more in sync this season, and their communication is a big part of the passing game and overall offense.
