Saints wide receiver Chris Olave has suffered two concussions this year. After the most recent one, suffered on Sunday, Olave will consult with specialists about his future.

Olave absorbed an illegal hit to the head during Sunday’s loss to the Panthers. He went to a local hospital for evaluation. Now, he is in the process of returning.

“He wants to go through the process in detail and making sure he makes the best decision for Chris Olave, taking football out of that equation. . . . What is the best decision for that person?” Interim coach Darren Rizzi told reporters Wednesday, via Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com. “So my conversations with him and our medical staff, we’ve been thorough and his family will be thorough with the process. I fully support this. I have five children of my own, and if this was one of my children, I would want to do the same.”

Olave has now suffered four concussions during his three-year NFL career.

“We’re more concerned about Chris Olave’s person and making sure everything is OK,” Rizzi said. “Then once he goes through that process, we’ll bring him back into football to see how he fits. When I say day to day, it sounds like coach speak. They see themselves as specialists and we will go through the process.”

Finally, Olave has some important decisions to make. As well as wanting to continue playing football, it seems Olave has to decide whether he will play for the Saints. Via Terrell, Olave’s brother Josh had this to say on social media when asked if it was worth it for Chris to continue playing: “He’s not worth it in Nola, I’m telling you that.”

A first-round pick in 2022, Olave is under contract through 2025. The Saints have an option for 2026. In both of his two seasons, Olave has topped 1,000 receiving yards.
