What happened: Chris Olave is expected to come off blood thinners on June 29 and will be cleared to return to full activity shortly after, according to a source. He is avoiding all contact until then. Everything in his recovery is described as going exactly as planned.

Why it matters: A clean recovery timeline is a meaningful boost for the same Chris Olave whose 2026 outlook has been under scrutiny, both for his role and his contract situation. Coming off blood thinners without setbacks clears the path for him to ramp up before the 2026 season. It also removes a major question mark from the receiving corps heading into camp.

What to watch: Watch for Olave to begin taking contact and ramping up in the weeks after June 29. The next milestone is full participation once he is medically cleared.
