Injury & Status History
A running log of this player's status changes — each entry links to the original source.
Chris Olave — Active
While Olave saw a team-high 10 targets, Alvin Kamara caught one more pass and gained one more receiving yard for the team leads in those categories, while Devaughn Vele caught Tyler Shough's only TD. Olave has failed to reach 60 yards in three straight games after topping 100 in three of his first four contests this season, but he'll get a bye week to reset before facing the Browns in Week 9.
Chris Olave — Active
While he didn't see his usual volume on an afternoon in which Tyler Shough threw for only 144 yards, Olave was on the other end of one of the QB's three scores, hauling in an 18-yard TD early in the fourth quarter that proved to be crucial after the Giants staged a late, but unsuccessful, rally. Olave got double-digit targets in each of the first four games of the season, but over the last two contests he's been targeted just 13 times, posting an 8-89-1 line. He'll look to regain some steam in Paris for a Week 7 matchup against the Steelers.
Chris Olave — Active
An illness afflicted Olave during the entirety of Week 6 prep, holding him to one limited practice Friday, but Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported Sunday morning that the wide receiver is expected to suit up. Indeed, that has come to pass, and Olave will continue to operate as the unquestioned top target for QB Tyler Shough, who currently ranks second in the NFL this season with 205 pass attempts.
Chris Olave — Questionable
Olave was contained to just one limited session (Friday) during Week 6 prep as he dealt with an illness, but it won't stop him from being available Sunday. His status will be confirmed about 90 minutes before a 1 p.m. ET kickoff, but assuming he's active, he'll be looking to build upon the 39-537-1 line on 54 targets that he's accrued through the first five contests of the campaign.
Chris Olave — Questionable
An illness cost Olave the first two practices of the week, but he was able to take the field Friday and get some work in. He isn't in the clear for Sunday's matchup with the Giants just yet, but his participation alone Friday suggests it's more likely than not that he'll be available.
Chris Olave — Questionable
With no practice so far this week for Olave due to an illness, he has just one more chance to mix into drills Friday, or else he'll be at risk of heading into the weekend with a designation for Sunday's game at the Giants. Through five contests this season, he has three 100-yard efforts to his name en route to cumulative 39-537-1 line on 54 targets.
Chris Olave — Questionable
Olave is coming off a season-worst 4-46-0 line on six targets in this past Sunday's loss to the Vikings, but a stout defense and not a health concern was to blame. As Week 6 prep kicks off, his absence on a Wednesday with an illness isn't as worrisome as it would be if it occurred not long before game day, and he has two more chances to practice Thursday and Friday to prove his health ahead of Sunday's contest at the Giants.
Chris Olave — Active
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. His sub-standard 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.
Chris Olave — Active
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.
Chris Olave — Questionable
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.
Chris Olave — Questionable
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.
Chris Olave — Active
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.
Chris Olave — Active
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 he should return to practice later in the week.
Chris Olave — Active
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. He 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.
Chris Olave — Active
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.
