Saints head coach Dennis Allen said Wednesday that Olave (ankle) will play in Thursday's game at the Rams, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
The Saints listed Olave as a limited participant in Tuesday's walk-through session, hinting at some level of progress after he missed all three of the team's practices last week before he was inactive for a 24-6 win over the Giants on Sunday. Allen said Olave will play Thursday, though the coach didn't specify whether or not the wideout will be listed with a game day designation on the final Week 16 injury report.
