Saints WR Chris Olave was a full participant today, a sign that he’s close to clearing the concussion protocol.

This is great news for the Saints offense as a whole, as they are already missing Michael Thomas and Rashid Shaheed for Week 13. Olave would be a must-start if he's fully cleared by Sunday, in a great matchup against the Lions.

Moreau isn't exactly an unknown quantity after four seasons and 12 touchdowns with the Raiders. Nobody quite knew when Moreau would be returning to football, however, after he was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma in the offseason. It would be impossible to know that detail based on his play in OTAs and minicamp. Moreau was a frequent target of quarterback Derek Carr throughout practice and participated in 11-on-11 drills without limitations. He worked with both the first and second team during OTAs and could compete with Juwan Johnson for snaps as the team's No. 1 or No. 2 tight end.

As seems to be the case every season since the Jimmy Graham years, the Saints TE situation looks like it will be muddy once again in 2023. Taysom Hill likely has the biggest ceiling, being that he will line up all over the field. Moreau and Johnson will look to cannibalize fantasy production away from one another, making them both undraftable.

Free agent tight end Foster Moreau, who was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma earlier this year, has agreed to a contract with the New Orleans Saints, the team announced Wednesday. Terms were not disclosed, but agent Joe Linta told ESPN's Jeremy Fowler that Moreau's contract is for three years and worth $12 million, including $8 million guaranteed and $3 million in incentives.

Moreau has the go-ahead to return to the football field next week. The Saints will begin their OTA sessions on May 23, although it's unclear yet how much he'll participate. The Saints have been in need of a veteran tight end after trading Adam Trautman to the Denver Broncos during the 2023 draft. Trautman told ESPN that he requested a trade in February and that the Saints brought in some veteran tight ends during free agency, including Moreau.

Chris Olave is officially out for Week 16 after missing the full week of practice.

With Jarvis Landry also being ruled out, the only pass-catching option with serious fantasy consideration for New Orleans would be tight end Juwan Johnson. Feel confident popping him into the TE slot for Week 16.

Dennis Allen on Taysom Hill: "He's going to provide multiple roles for us."

The tweet added that Allen said Hill will, "still take some snaps from the quarterback position." So it looks like Hill could be up to his old tricks, much like when Drew Brees was the QB. Underhill did say Hill's primary position will be TE. Hill's potential at TE is yet to be determined, but any production could get a boost depending on how much time he'll see at QB.

Saints’ TE Adam Trautman suffered a sprained MCL during Sunday’s loss to the Eagles that is expected to sideline him 4-6 weeks, per source.

Trautman was having a nice game before the injury, catching five balls for 58 yards and a TD. Vannett caught one ball for 20 yards and likely sees an increased role. Johnson is a name to watch as well, having a 2-36-0 line back on Nov. 14, with his best game a 3-21-2 line Sept. 12. He has three TDs total on the season but has never had more than three targets in a game this year.

Saints QB Taysom Hill did individual drills with the tight ends Wednesday according to Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.football.

The Taysom Hill shenanigans will continue in 2021. His inclusion in non-QB offensive situations hurts Trautman and Johnson and will cap their ceilings if Jameis Winston remains the Saints quarterback.

The New Orleans Saints will be without TE Nick Vannett (knee) for 2-4 weeks, according to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN. He joins Adam Trautman on the sidelines for the immediate future.

Bad news for Jameis Winston and Taysom Hill. Trautman was/is expected to be the main catching tight end, while Vannett the main blocking tight end. Word out of camp has Juwan Johnson as a wild card following an impressive showing the past few weeks and could be the starting tight end to open 2021. The converted wide receiver saw a snap increase during New Orleans's Week 2 preseason game following injuries to Trautman and Vannett.

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports that Adam Trautman injured his foot, and while he received good news initially from on-site X-rays he will receive an MRI on Tuesday to identify what’s causing him “mild pain.”

The fact that Trautman was able to move around under his own power — until the trainers gave him a lift on the cart to the locker room — suggests he avoided major injury, the story said. But the piece added this isn’t something we’ll really know much more about until the results from his MRI come in on Tuesday. Johnson would be next up on the depth chart at TE for the Saints.
