Chris Olave

Saints WR Chris Olave is scheduled to get off blood thinners on June 29.

Olave has been on blood thinners after a blood clot was discovered in his lung late last season. It has held him out of team drills so far in the Saints offseason program. He should be cleared heading into training camp as he enters the 2026 season on the fifth-year option of his rookie contract.

Chris Olave will participate in practice on Tuesday, but he won’t do team drills.

Olave is able to do individual drills because there’s no contact involved. He remains hopeful to be fully cleared by training camp.

Saints coach Kellen Moore said Chris Olave is ramping up and not taking part in team drills yet at OTAs.

Olave is continuing to be eased back into camp. He is also seeking a contract extension heading into training camp.

Chris Olave told reporters that he feels a contract extension is “going to get done soon.”

Olave previously said he was confident on reaching an extension by the start of training camp. He is currently set to play 2026 on the fifth-year option.

Chris Olave reportedly gained 10 pounds of muscle and looks “great” at OTAs.

Saints QB Tyler Shough said Olave looks “better than I’ve ever seen him." Olave is continuing to seek a contract extension heading into training camp. He can be viewed as a WR1 for fantasy managers.
