Overview
- Head coach Kellen Moore said Olave is expected to play and ESPN’s Adam Schefter confirmed that update.
- Olave was listed as limited on the team injury report after missing parts of practice with a hamstring concern.
- Coaches plan to manage Olave’s workload with a likely snap count to protect him over the long season.
- New Orleans has thin proven depth at wide receiver because rookie Jordyn Tyson is on injured reserve, leaving Devaughn Vele and Barion Brown as the primary backups.
- The decision affects the Saints’ Week 2 game plan and short‑term outlook because Olave handled an outsized target share in Week 1 and any limitation could blunt the offense and increase pressure on the passing game.
