The Indianapolis Colts (3-4) will host the New Orleans Saints (3-4) for their Week 8 matchup.
Ahead of their game, though, it seems that the Saints will be dealing with an off-the-field issue with one of their star players, according to Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reported that Saints WR Chris Olave was arrested on Monday.
Underhill shared more specifics on what actions led to Olave's arrest, such as his overall speed.
Going 70 in a 35 is no minor issue, and it makes sense why he was arrested for reckless operation of a vehicle. His status for this week's game against the Colts is still unknown at this time. Whether he plays or not, this is a situation that the Saints will have to deal with all week on top of preparing for their game in Indianapolis.
This will be a situation worth monitoring throughout the week for the Colts. They will have the tall task of corralling Chris Olave and Michael Thomas in Week 8 if Olave does play, that is. And they will likely be missing their top corner, with Juju Brents' injury looking to be one that will keep him sidelined.
