What happened: An NFL insider signaled that Chris Olave's recovery continues to trend in a positive direction. Per the reporting, Olave is slated to come off blood thinners on June 29 and has been avoiding contact until that point. Everything up to now is described as going according to plan.

Why it matters: A clean timeline matters for a pass-catcher whose availability shapes the receiving corps heading into the 2026 season. Clearing the blood-thinner stage and resuming contact work would remove a key question mark from offseason planning and training-camp expectations.

What to watch: Watch for confirmation around June 29 that Olave is off blood thinners and cleared to resume contact. The next milestone is full participation once camp ramps up.
