Saints' Chris Olave: Dealing with minor shoulder injury
Olave injured his shoulder in the weight room a few weeks ago and has been wearing a no-contact jersey at recent OTA practices, Matthew Paras of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
The injury is seemingly a minor one, considering Olave has been a full practice participant while donning the no-contract jersey, per Paras. Olave should be fine for the start of training camp in late July, at which point he'll be the clear centerpiece of the Saints passing game under new offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak.

Saints' Chris Olave: Set as WR1 in Big Easy
Olave once again is in line to serve as the focal point of New Orleans' passing attack after the team added just one wide receiver in the 2024 NFL Draft, selecting Bub Means at No. 170 overall.
Olave is coming off back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons to begin his career. The 2022 first-round pick has provided much-needed juice to an otherwise stale Saints offense. In fact, he's the only receiver to put up more than 720 yards in either of the past two seasons, as the team relied largely on aging veterans like Michael Thomas and Jarvis Landry to buoy the passing game. New Orleans then moved on from Landry during the 2023 offseason before cutting Thomas in March. Meanwhile, the team went cheap with its additions at the position, signing free agents Cedrick Wilson and Equanimeous St. Brown and waiting until the fifth round to draft Means. As a result, the Saints will more than likely enter the 2024 campaign with three pass catchers who have recorded more than 500 yards in a single season: Olave, No.2 wide receiver Rashid Shaheed and tight end Juwan Johnson. A.T. Perry, a 2023 sixth-round pick, will likely round out this receiving room, which Olave should clearly lead this season.
