Chris Olave was questionable heading into Sunday on the New Orleans Saints‘ final injury report of Week 6.

And while the inactive list on Sunday didn’t include Olave’s name, it’s still not clear if he’s going to be at 100% for the matchup with the New York Giants.

He certainly didn’t make much impact in the early going. Olave was shut out in the first quarter.

Is Chris Olave Playing Today?

Yes, Olave is active and playing on Sunday.

He did get a target out of Tyler Shough’s first five passes, but Olave wasn’t able to catch it.

Devaughn Vele had an early catch for 16 yards, and Kendre Miller had a catch for 0 yards. Shough had already thrown three incompletions out of his first five passes, each targeted to a different player, including the one to Olave.
