Saints WR Chris Olave is relieved to have his recent concussion problems behind him for the time being, as he has suffered four concussions in three seasons, prompting him to consult with specialists.
“It was tough, man, at first; I ain’t never really sat out that long.” Olave said on Wednesday, via The Associated Press. “That was really my first major injury. … Just not being able to go and practice and go to meetings with my guys was the worst part, but I feel like I’m ready. I was training and lifting and everything in December. So, I feel like I’m good.”
“They said I was OK back in December when they cleared me. It was just unlucky situations I was being put in,” Olave added. “God’s got me at the end of the day. I’m not worried about nothing. So, just got to go out there 100% and be ready.”
As for speculation about Olave being traded, he confirms that it was nothing more than the churning of the rumor mill.
“It’s all rumors, man,” Olave laughed. “In the offseason, everybody’s trying to have something for clicks. So, I love it here. I love the front office. I love my coaches. I’m excited to be here, and I want to be here forever.”
