The New Orleans Saints have placed TE Juwan Johnson, DE Tanoh Kpassagnon, LB Nephi Sewell and DE Chase Young on the physically unable to perform list, placed T Ryan Ramczyk on the reserve/physically unable to perform list, placed WR Chris Olave on the non-football injury list

In a follow-up tweet, Nick Underhill mentions that Olave is "battling a little back tightness. Not a significant situation and he'll be fine." It seems like this is more precautionary than anything. We'll keep an eye on the situation as we get through training camp.

The Saints will have WR Chris Olave (ankle) tonight, and young RB Kendre Miller (ankle) is likely to play, as well.

Miller has been out since Week 9, and hadn't seen continuous usage since Week 5 (12-37-0), when Kamara was still serving his suspension. The rookie is a fairly decent stash in very deep leagues, should anything happen to Kamara.

Saints’ HC Dennis Allen said WR Chris Olave will play Thursday night vs. the Rams.

Olave hasn't had the best connection with QB Derek Carr this season, but he still represents his best option when on the field, and should be considered a WR2 in Week 16. Even with their struggles, the sophomore wide receiver has averaged 14.4 half-PPR points per game over his last five.

New Orleans listed Chris Olave (ankle) as a limited participant for today’s injury report. The Saints conducted a walk-through.

As we reported Monday, Saints head coach Dennis Allen said he expected Olave’s to return to practice “in some form or fashion” on Tuesday. It's a good sign for Olave getting back into action, but keep in mind it's a Thursday game for the Saints this week.

The Saints didn’t practice Monday, but with a Thursday Night Football game looming, they had to issue an estimated report.

The team listed defensive end Isaiah Foskey (quadricep), safety Lonnie Johnson (knee), running back Kendre Miller (ankle), receiver Chris Olave (ankle) and right tackle Ryan Ramczyk (knee) as non-participants.

Olave missed Sunday’s game against the Giants, and coach Dennis Allen said Monday that the short turnaround between Sunday and Thursday factored into the decision to hold out Olave. Allen said the hope was for Olave to practice in some capacity on Tuesday.

WR Chris Olave did not practice for the second straight day with an ankle injury, leaving his status in doubt for Sunday.

The Saints receiving group is looking very rough heading into Week 15. If Olave ends up missing, it will be difficult to start many names outside of Alvin Kamara.

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.

Saints WR Chris Olave was ruled out of Sunday's game against the Falcons with a concussion.

Olave got hurt going leaping high for a pass and coming down hard. He was having a really nice day with 114 yards on seven catches. The Saints have taken some hits at the wide receiver position. Olave is out, Michael Thomas is on IR, Rashid Shaheed is banged up. It's pretty down right now for the Saints, who are in danger of losing the NFC South lead to the Falcons.

Saints head coach Dennis Allen noted that receiver Michael Thomas could miss some time with a knee injury. Now we know that will be at least four weeks.

Thomas has been placed on injured reserve, New Orleans announced on Tuesday.

it’s a tough break for Thomas, who had played just 10 games over the last three seasons due to injury. In 2023, Thomas has caught 39 passes for 448 yards with a touchdown, the story said. With Thomas out, Olave should continue to operate as the team's WR1 but Shaheed could see a step up in snaps and workload as well.

Saints receiver Chris Olave had a bad Thursday, and he’s having a worse Monday.

Olave was arrested on Monday night for reckless operation of a motor vehicle, Nick Underhill of neworleans.football reports. Olave was traveling 35 mph over the posted speed limit.

Olave did not resist and was cooperative with law enforcement before being taken to Kenner City Jail, per Underhill and the PFT story. As the story indicated, Olave ran the wrong route during last Thursday's loss to the Jags, drawing the ire of QB Derek Carr.
