Officially limited Wednesday Olave (hamstring) was limited at practice Wednesday.

Impact Prior to being inactive this past Saturday in Cleveland due to a hamstring issue, Olave was held out of all drills last week, so his return Wednesday is a step in the right direction as the Saints prepare for Sunday's game at Philadelphia. He'll aim to increase his activity level in the coming days, with Friday's practice report indicating whether or not he enters the weekend with a designation for Week 17 action.

Back at practice Wednesday Olave (hamstring) returned to practice Wednesday, Terrin Waack of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

Impact Olave didn't practice at all due to a hamstring issue during Week 16 prep before he was ruled out for this past Saturday's game at Cleveland. It marked the second absence for what's been a productive first pro campaign for the 11th overall pick of this year's draft, as he's just 60 yards shy of 1,000 receiving yards with two games to go in the regular season. Wednesday's injury report will reveal how much work Olave was able to handle.

Sidelined for Week 16 Olave (hamstring) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Browns, Terrin Waack of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

Impact New Orleans will have to get by without two of its starting receivers in Week 16, as neither Olave nor Jarvis Landry (ankle) will be available after both weren't able to practice Friday in any fashion. With the star rookie sidelined and the veteran slot man sitting out, the Saints are left with Rashid Shaheed, Tre'Quan Smith and Marquez Callaway as their likely starting receiver trio.

Another DNP on Wednesday Olave (hamstring) was held out of practice Wednesday.

Impact Olave has yet to practice this week as he tends to a hamstring issue, giving him just one more opportunity to get in some on-field work before the Saints file their final Week 16 injury report Thursday. Fellow wide receiver Jarvis Landry made a sudden appearance on Wednesday's report as a non-participant due to an ankle concern, so the position group will be one to monitor as Saturday's game at Cleveland approaches.

DECEMBER 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Not seen at practice Wednesday Olave (hamstring) wasn't spotted at Wednesday's practice, Luke Johnson of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

Impact Olave may be trending toward a second consecutive absence from on-field work as he deals with a hamstring issue, which would give him just one more chance to mix into drills during Week 16 prep. Wednesday's injury report will reveal whether or not he's listed as a non-participant or limited participant in practice.

Dealing with hamstring issue Olave was listed as a non-participant on Tuesday's estimated practice report due to a hamstring injury.

Impact Aside from sitting out Week 6 with a concussion, Olave has been a model of health during his rookie season en route to 63 catches on 102 targets for 940 yards and three touchdowns in 13 appearances. Now with a new injury, he'll have two more sessions to get back on the field and prove his fitness for Saturday's game in Cleveland.

Moderate outing in rush-heavy win Olave had three receptions (on four targets) for 53 yards during Sunday's 21-18 victory over Atlanta.

Impact Olave logged one his more pedestrian stat lines of the season, as he matched his season low for receptions in a game. However, the rookie wideout still tied Rashid Shaheed for the Saints' second-most targets behind tight end Juwan Johnson (six). Olave also posted at least one reception of 20 or more yards for the ninth time in 13 games this season. The No. 1 wideout should continue to serve a prominent role in New Orleans' limited passing offense against Cleveland in Week 16.

Top target in loss Olave reeled in four of six targets for 65 yards during Monday's 17-16 defeat to the Buccaneers.

Impact Olave once again paced the Saints in targets during this solid outing for quarterback Andy Dalton. However, the rookie still finished as the team's second-leading receiver behind wideout Rashid Shaheed, who posted a career-high 75 receiving yards. Olave also made an uncharacteristic drop on third down that would have given New Orleans' offense an additional red-zone opportunity late in the second quarter. The No. 1 wideout has been one of the most consistent offensive players for the Saints this year, and, following their Week 14 bye, he should have a chance to post a better stat line against Atlanta's 26th-ranked pass defense.

Leads team in receiving Olave hauled in five of nine targets for 62 yards in Sunday's 13-0 loss to the 49ers.

Impact New Orleans' offense sputtered as a whole, but Olave was able to produce against a tough defense. The standout rookie could have had a bigger game had his quarterback not struggled, as he almost made two circus catches on poorly-thrown balls that would have resulted in an additional 30-plus yards and a touchdown. It was still a productive fantasy line from the 22-year-old, who now boasts a 56/822/3 receiving line through 11 contests. Olave remains the Saints clear No. 1 wideout heading into next Monday's pivotal division matchup against the Saints.
