New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave will be out on Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons after doctors detected a blood clot in his lung, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported on Thursday.
Olave has no prior history with blood clots and is expected to be sidelined for a month before beginning his off-season program, Schefter added.
Nick Underhill of New Orleans Football was first to report the news. Underhill added that the blood clot was caught before anything bad happened and that Olave was discharged from the hospital Tuesday.
The 25-year-old wideout finished the year with 100 receptions, 1,163 yards and nine touchdowns, all career highs.
The Falcons-Saints game on Sunday has a bearing on the NFL Playoff race, as an Atlanta win clinches the NFC South division for the Carolina Panthers, as they are positioned to win a three-way head-to-head tiebreaker between the division rivals.
