Doesn't participate in team drills Olave didn't participate in team drills Wednesday, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Per Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football, Olave was limited to individual drills during the first day of training camp, but his lack of participation in team drills is business-related rather than linked to an injury concern. On that topic, Olave -- who is approaching the final year of his rookie deal -- is hoping to secure an extension with the Saints ahead of the coming season.

Loomis also said the 2022 second-round pick is "enthusiastic" while reporting for camp despite his current lack of a long-term contract, Terrell reports. Olave previously stated that he hoped to finalize an extension with New Orleans prior to opening of training camp. Rookie first-round pick Jordyn Tyson (undisclosed) has also been fully cleared for camp after passing his conditioning test, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

Hopes for contract before camp Olave (illness) said he hopes to finalize a contract extension with the Saints before training camp, Katherine Terrell of ESPN reports.

Impact Olave indicated that reaching an agreement before camp would help avoid any distractions and "not affect team chemistry." The standout wide receiver has been limited during offseason work while recovering from January treatment for a blood clot, but head coach Kellen Moore has repeatedly expressed confidence in his recovery. Per Albert Breer of SI.com, Olave has recently been cleared, meaning he should be fully ready for the start of training camp. Olave remains the No. 1 target for second-year quarterback Tyler Shough and will be joined by rookie first-rounder Jordyn Tyson (undisclosed) during the 2026 campaign.

Impact Olave is practicing Monday but not participating in team drills, per Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com. The star wide receiver is continuing his recovery from treatment for a blood clot in January, for which he missed Week 18 of the 2025 season. Moore said there are "no issues" with Olave's recovery progress and that the team is simply avoiding any risks of contact during drills. Rookie first-round pick Jordyn Tyson (undisclosed) also remains limited at mandatory minicamp, but it doesn't appear that New Orleans has serious concerns about the status of either player for the start of training camp.

Limited at OTAs after blood clot Olave (illness) has been limited to individual drills at OTAs after undergoing treatment for a blood clot in January, Matthew Paras of Nola.com reports.

Impact "[Olave] hasn't been able to do the team activities obviously throughout OTAs," said Saints coach Kellen Moore. "The blood clot was related to not participating in team and some of those things." For his part, Olave told reporters that it only took a week to feel normal again when he first got treatment for the blood clot back in January (missing Week 18 in the process). It's apparently a longer process to get clearance for full practice participation, with Olave saying, "I just put my best foot forward, (and am) just trying to do everything right so I can be healthy at the beginning of the year."
