The Saints were able to win without wide receiver Chris Olave last Sunday, but they do not want to be faced with having to do that again this week.
Chris Olave looked like he was going to have a hot finish to an overall disappointing season, but an ankle injury suffered two weeks ago has derailed things.
Olave was ultimately ruled out after testing his ankle in pre-game warmups on Sunday, but now he is ready to go.
Head coach Dennis Allen said on Wednesday that Olave is good to go for the team’s Week 16 game against the Rams.
Olave has 72 catches for 918 yards and four touchdowns this season.
