Overview
- Chris Olave missed Thursday’s practice and is considered day-to-day with back spasms after leaving Wednesday’s session, per multiple reports.
- Alvin Kamara has missed consecutive practices with knee and ankle issues, including a sprained MCL, and multiple outlets report he is in danger of sitting Sunday.
- If Olave is unavailable, the Saints’ outside receivers would likely be Devaughn Vele, Mason Tipton Jr., and Kevin Austin Jr., with tight end Juwan Johnson taking on added targets.
- Rookie backs Devin Neal and Audric Estime are candidates for expanded roles if Kamara cannot go, with final calls pending Friday’s report.
- Right tackle Taliese Fuaga was upgraded to full participation Thursday, offering a potential boost as the 2-9 Saints visit the favored, two-game-win-streak Dolphins.
