It’s Olave. At camp. Fire. https://t.co/k9MFj4QIxF

What happened: The New Orleans Saints flagged wide receiver Chris Olave standing out early at camp, praising his form on the field. The note lands as Olave continues working back from the blood-clot issue that limited him.

Why it matters: A healthy, sharp Olave is central to New Orleans' 2026 passing game and to the Shough-Olave connection the team has been building this offseason. His availability shapes the Saints' receiving room and their ceiling heading into the season.

By the numbers: Olave is set to come off blood thinners on June 29 and has been tracking toward a full return.

What to watch: Watch whether Olave clears the June 29 milestone on schedule and is cleared for full-contact work as camp ramps up.
