Chris Olave

The injury was initially believed to be a back issue and was later specified as a shoulder injury. He was placed on the NFI list ahead of camp. Per NewOrleans.Football's Nick Underhill, Olave was a full participant in Wednesday's practice. The fact that he was a full-go so quickly suggests the shoulder injury was extremely minor. As the clear WR1 for the Saints, Olave is in a great position to post a true breakout season this year. The third-year wideout has 159 career receptions for 2,165 yards but is still looking for his first 1,200-yard season. He currently goes off the board as a low-end WR1 in Best Ball drafts.

Olave (shoulder) participated in Day 1 of Saints training camp Wednesday without limitations, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

Coach Dennis Allen said Tuesday that Olave (shoulder), who was placed on the active/non-football injury list last week, will practice in part Wednesday, Matthew Paras of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

The deal places Shaheed under team control through the 2025 season after he was tendered as an exclusive rights free agent prior to the 2024 season. Shaheed entered the league as an undrafted free agent in 2022 and played his way into a more robust role in his second professional season in 2023, earning All-Pro and Pro Bowl selections in the process. With Michael Thomas no longer with the team and a relative lack of depth behind Chris Olave at wide receiver, Shaheed should have every opportunity to improve upon a diminutive 46.0 percent snap share and 77.9 percent route participation rate from a season ago.

According to Saints beat writer Nick Underhill, Olave is dealing with "a little back tightness" and is expected to be fine. Olave has totaled 1,000-plus yards in each of his first two seasons in the league while amassing 159 receptions. The 2022 first-rounder is expected to once again serve as the Saints WR1 and should be primed for another productive fantasy season once healthy. We'd expect him to return sooner rather than later. In addition to Olave, the Saints also placed tight end Juwan Johnson and EDGE Chase Young on the PUP list. They can be removed from the list at any time, but are both dealing with injuries from earlier this offseason.
