Saints' Chris Olave: Victim of Shough's struggles Sunday
Olave secured four of six targets for 46 yards in the Saints' 23-13 loss to the Vikings on Sunday.
Olave found himself in the familiar position of either tying for the team lead or setting the pace for the Saints in receptions, receiving yards and targets, but the numbers he generated in each of those categories left plenty to be desired. Olave's substandard production should be taken in context, however, considering Tyler Shough threw for only 96 yards at 3.8 yards per attempt and was picked off twice as well. Olave's numbers were easily season lows across the board, but he should have a good chance to bounce back in a Week 6 road matchup against the Giants next Sunday.

Saints' Chris Olave: Good to go Sunday
Olave (foot) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Vikings, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports.
After being limited Thursday due to a foot issue, Olave's full participation Friday clears up his status for Week 5. The NFL's leader in targets (48) has a tough test against Minnesota's aggressive defense, but the Saints can't run the ball and have been forced to dial up the pass at a high clip through four games. Olave is a lock-and-load WR1 every week.

Saints' Chris Olave: Practicing again Friday
Olave (rest/foot) appeared to be moving well during the part of Friday's practice open to the media, Jeff Nowak of WWL New Orleans reports.
After being rested for Wednesday's walkthrough, Olave was limited at Thursday's session due to a foot injury. His status for Sunday's game against the Vikings may receive some clarity once the Saints post their final Week 5 practice report Friday.

Saints' Chris Olave: Dealing with foot issue
Olave (rest/foot) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday.
The Saints held a walkthrough Wednesday, during which Olave logged a rest day. As of Thursday, he mixed back into drills, but a foot injury was added to the practice report after his capped session. His ability to handle some reps while dealing with a health concern generally is a good sign that his status isn't in question for Week 5, but Friday's injury report will reveal whether or not he enters the weekend with a designation for Sunday's contest versus the Vikings.

Saints' Chris Olave: Returns to practice Thursday
Olave was present and involved throughout Thursday's practice, Ross Jackson of LouisianaSports.net reports.
Olave rested Wednesday after catching eight of 12 targets for 116 yards in Monday's loss to the Falcons. The star wide receiver returned to practice Thursday, assuaging any lingering concerns about his health. Olave will look to add to his season totals of 35 catches for 491 yards and one touchdown Sunday against the Vikings.

Saints' Chris Olave: Gets rest day Wednesday
Olave had a rest day at Wednesday's practice, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.
The Saints had a walkthrough Wednesday after having played Monday night against the Falcons. Olave was given a rest day, and according to Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football, it was unrelated to a hard shot he took during the loss to the Falcons. Olave does not appear to be dealing with an injury, and should return to practice later in the week.

Saints' Chris Olave: Stellar numbers in lopsided loss
Olave secured eight of 12 targets for 116 yards in the Saints' 45-24 loss to the Falcons on Monday night.
Olave was in the customary position of leading the Saints in receptions, receiving yards and targets, putting together his third 100-yard effort, including his second straight, of 2026. Olave also extended his season-opening streak of games with double-digit targets to four, and although Jeff Nowak of WWLAM-FM reports the talented receiver took a hit to the knee on New Orleans' final drive and went to the sideline, he never entered the medical tent. Assuming Olave is no worse for wear, he'll once again be slated for a prominent role in a Week 5 home matchup against the Vikings on Sunday.

Saints' Chris Olave: Tops century mark again Sunday
Olave caught nine of 13 targets for 107 yards in Sunday's 35-27 loss to the Raiders.
The fifth-year wideout led the Saints in catches, targets and receiving yards, but all four of Tyler Shough's TD passes went to tight ends instead of Olave. Olave has hauled in more than 100 yards in two of three games to begin the season, amassing a 27-375-1 line on 36 targets, and he'll look to keep rolling in Week 4 at home against the Falcons.
