No action in preseason Olave didn't suit up for the Saints' three-game preseason slate.

Impact Olave missed time at the end of the offseason program due to a blood clot, and while he opened training camp as a full participant and agreed to a four-year extension worth up to $132 million on July 30, he exited three different practices for various reasons in August. Nevertheless, he appears to be entering the season in good health and ready to build upon a career-best 2025 regular season in which he posted a 100-1,163-9 line on 155 targets in 16 games.

Back at practice Wednesday Olave (upper body) returned to practice Wednesday after exiting early Tuesday, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Olave landed hard on his back Tuesday and had the wind knocked out of him, forcing the Saints' star wideout to sit out the remainder of the practice. It's clearly a non-issue moving forward. With Jordyn Tyson (hamstring) set to miss the beginning of the regular season, Olave should see a heavy dose of targets in the New Orleans passing game out of the gate.

Exits practice early Tuesday Olave exited Tuesday's practice early with an undisclosed injury, Mike Triplett of New Orleans.Football reports.

Impact According to coach Kellen Moore, Olave got the wind knocked out of him, and the receiver is expected to be fine after landing on his back during drills, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports. Olave left practice last week with a similar issue. With Jordyn Tyson (hamstring) expected to miss time to begin the 2026 season, the Saints can't afford to lose Olave following his career year in 2025.

Returns to Tuesday's practice Olave returned to Tuesday's joint practice with the Cowboys after making a brief exit during the session, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.

Impact After making a contested catch down the left sideline and falling to the turf, Olave left the field with Saints trainers and visited the medical tent. Not long afterward, though, he was back on the practice field and rejoined team drills, indicating this was merely a scare. New Orleans' receiving corps is particularly banged up at the moment, with rookie first-round pick Jordyn Tyson (hamstring) expected to miss the next two months and rookie fourth-rounder Bryce Lance (undisclosed) and Mason Tipton (leg, active/PUP) also tending to injuries. As a result, Olave being able to return to action is a positive for this position group.

Heads to medical tent during Tuesday's practice Olave went the medical tent during Tuesday's joint practice with the Cowboys, Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

Impact Prior to his exit, Olave had been cooking Dallas' defense, making a number of catches. Having said that, after one grab down the left sideline while falling to the turf, he left the practice field with Saints trainers. It's unclear if he's dealing with any sort of injury, though, as Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reported that Olave returned to the field and was waiting for the session to resume.

NFL Catchup: Rams Stars Sidelined, Cowboys Eye DB Depth, More Injury Updates

Sits out preseason opener Olave did not play in the Saints' 24-20 preseason loss to the Jaguars on Saturday.

Impact Olave watched from the sidelines along with a group of New Orleans' key starters, including QB Tyler Shough, RB Travis Etienne, TE Juwan Johnson, and others. Third-year wideout Bub Means led the Saints with four catches (on five targets) for 77 yards while Zach Wilson, Hunter Dekkers, and Spencer Rattler all cycled in under center. Olave is coming off a career-best 2025 campaign when he recorded 100 catches (on 155 targets) for 1,163 yards and nine touchdowns across 16 regular-season games. He also signed a four-year extension worth up to $132 million this offseason, and he should be in line for another productive season while catching passes from Shough in 2026. Olave's next chance play this preseason will come Saturday, Aug. 22 versus the Rams.

Practicing Thursday after Wednesday exit Olave was on the field for practice Thursday.

Impact Olave left Wednesday's practice early with a trainer by his side, though at the time NFL reporter Erin Summers suggested that it looked to be a heat-related issue for the wideout. Olave's participation in practice a day later seems to confirm that his Wednesday exit was precautionary and that the 2022 first-rounder -- who recently signed a four-year extension with the Saints worth up to $132 million -- is fine as the team's Aug. 15 preseason opener against the Jaguars approaches.

Leaves practice early with trainer Olave left Wednesday's practice early with a trainer by his side, though it looked to just be a heat-related issue, NFL reporter Erin Summers reports.

Impact It sounds like Olave walked off the practice field under his own power. He's otherwise been taking part in full-team drills at training camp, after being limited during the offseason program.
