We reported last week that Saints WR Chris Olave remained sidelined after a blood clot was found in his lung in January. According to New Orleans Football's Nick Underhill, Olave is slated to get off his blood thinners on June 29. It sounds like he'll be fully cleared at that point. "Everything to this point is going exactly as planned," Underhill adds.

This will remain a situation to monitor when training camp opens, but it seems like Olave is on track to have this behind him by the time Week 1 kicks off.
We haven't moved him in the WR rankings.
