The New Orleans Saints are listing wide receiver Chris Olave as questionable for Sunday's game against the Atlanta Falcons after he sustained a hamstring injury in Friday's practice, the team announced.

Olave's injury is considered day-to-day, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Wide receiver A.T. Perry has also been ruled out of the matchup due to a hamstring injury, while wideout Cedrick Wilson Jr. is questionable with an ankle ailment. Wilson did not practice Friday.

Olave leads the team in receptions (12) and receiving yards (178). If he's sidelined, Rashid Shaheed will be expected to step up. Shaheed recorded 169 receiving yards over the first two weeks but was held without a catch on five targets in Week 3.

Running back Alvin Kamara is also questionable due to hip and rib injuries. However, he practiced in a limited capacity Thursday and Friday.

Linebacker Demario Davis and offensive lineman Cesar Ruiz will miss the contest. Davis is hobbled by a hamstring injury while Ruiz is dealing with a knee issue.

The Saints opened their season with dominant wins over the Carolina Panthers and Dallas Cowboys but suffered their first defeat last Sunday against the Philadelphia Eagles.
