Saints WR Chris Olave has remained sidelined this offseason after a blood clot was found in his lung in January. The issue cost him last season's finale, but ESPN's Adam Schefter reported at the time that it would only keep him out for a month. It's now been over five months.
HC Kellen Moore on Olave: "He hasn’t been able to do the team activities throughout OTAs. He’s not here today. We’ll check in on that. He’s done a ton of work this offseason. He’ll be in a good place."
Moore didn't sound too concerned about Olave, but this will certainly be a situation to watch closely when Saints training camp opens in late July.
We don't have any other instances of a player returning from a blood clot in our injury database, so it's tough to know how this will impact Olave's 2026.
We're not moving him in the WR rankings right now, but there's elevated risk here until we see Olave back on the field.
We already had him a tad overvalued at his early-third-round ADP.
Any missed time for Olave this season would likely turn WR Jordyn Tyson into the No. 1 target in New Orleans' fast-paced offense.
The rookie is an upside pick at his WR3-level price tag, although it's worth noting that he's been limited this offseason coming off last year's hamstring trouble.
