It's been a rough 2025 season for the New Orleans Saints so far, to say the least. Not only are the Saints just 1-6 entering a tough matchup with the rival Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday, but they're also not really showing many signs of promise or hope.

However, if there is any consolation, they do have some good news on the injury front.

After being a limited participant in practice for most of the week, the Saints' final injury report indicates that No. 1 receiver Chris Olave is expected to play against the Buccaneers barring any last-minute setbacks. That is huge for a Saints team that needs all the help it can get in an already challenging game.

How has Chris Olave played for the Saints this year?

Olave has 44 catches for 440 yards and three touchdowns in seven appearances season.
