Overview
- Coach Kellen Moore said Wednesday that Olave is 'ramping up' but has not participated in OTAs or minicamp team drills because of the blood clot discovered late in the 2025 season.
- The Saints are allowing Olave to do only individual work during the offseason program and have monitored his workload rather than return him to group contact.
- Olave did take part in limited individual drills on May 28, including catching passes from quarterback Tyler Shough, showing progress but not full clearance.
- Contract talks between the Saints and Olave’s representatives continue as he enters the final year of his rookie deal, making his medical status a key factor in roster and salary planning.
- Olave comes off a career 2025 season (100 catches, 1,163 yards, nine TDs) and has prior concussion history, so the team’s cautious approach could affect training camp timing and the offense’s planning for Week 1.
