NEW ORLEANS -- Saints wide receiver Chris Olave developed a blood clot in one of his lungs and will miss the team's season finale against the Atlanta Falcons, a source confirmed to ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Olave, who was listed on the injury report with an illness after missing Wednesday's practice, has no history with blood clots and is expected to recover within the next month. He will be able to participate in the Saints' offseason program when it begins in April, the source said.
