Authorities report that Olave was released from the Kenner city jail around 11:30 p.m.
This incident comes at a crucial time for the Saints, as they are preparing to face the Indianapolis Colts next Sunday, the 29th, and raises doubts about Olave’s participation in the match. Chris Olave is in his second NFL season, both with the New Orleans Saints, and was the 11th overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft after a career at Ohio State. He is currently the team’s leading receiver this season, racking up 39 receptions for 471 yards and a touchdown.
