Winston active as emergency QB vs. Bengals; Olave out

New Orleans Saints quarterback Jameis Winston is active for Sunday's Week 6 game against the Cincinnati Bengals as the team's emergency backup.

Andy Dalton will start for the second straight week, with Taysom Hill likely taking over if Dalton suffers an injury. Jake Luton had acted as the No. 2 quarterback, but New Orleans waived him Saturday.

Winston, 28, had been listed as questionable due to back and ankle issues.

Wide receiver Chris Olave, meanwhile, won't play in Week 6 due to a concussion, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.

His absence is a blow to a banged-up receiving corps that's already without Michael Thomas and Jarvis Landry.

The 22-year-old rookie suffered the injury in the third quarter of last week's win over the Seattle Seahawks. He finished the game with four catches for 54 yards and a touchdown.

Olave is off to a hot start to his NFL career, racking up 25 catches for 389 yards and two touchdowns through five games.
