Chris Olave appears on injury report after 182-yard game against Lions

Summary

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave, fresh off a career-high 182 receiving yards against the Detroit Lions, has been listed on the injury report with a hamstring issue. The noteworthy designation comes just days before the Saints' matchup with the Baltimore Ravens on September 20. Olave caught 10 passes during the game, significantly contributing to the Saints' offense, which saw second-year quarterback Tyler Shough pass for 410 yards. Despite the injury concern, the team's official report did not yet designate Olave's status for the upcoming game, with further clarity expected after Friday's practice.
