New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave cleared concussion protocol and is set to return against the Los Angeles Chargers after a one-game absence.

The 24-year-old was a full participant in practice over the last two days. He suffered a head injury in Week 6 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and exited the contest early.

New Orleans is banged up at the wide receiver position heading into Week 8. Rashid Shaheed, the team's leading receiver, is expected to miss the remainder of the season with a knee injury. The Saints ruled out Cedrick Wilson Jr. from Sunday's contest due to a hip ailment.

Taysom Hill is off the injury report after missing the last three games due to a rib injury.
