Saints wide receiver Chris Olave is set to miss extended time after suffering a concussion in last Sunday’s loss to the Panthers.
Olave has been ruled out for Sunday’s game against the Falcons and Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports that he is expected to be placed on injured reserve on Saturday. Olave will miss at least four games as a result of the move.

The consultations and move to injured reserve make for a similar approach to the one the Dolphins took with quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, who returned to action two weeks ago after a Week Two concussion.
