Overview
- Both Alvin Kamara and Chris Olave were listed as did not practice on Wednesday before returning to the team field for Thursday's session.
- Coach Kellen Moore described Olave’s Wednesday absence as a planned rest day and said Kamara missed practice for back soreness while his Monday-night knee was checked and pronounced fine.
- Thursday reports showed Olave was limited with a foot issue during practice, which introduces a monitored restriction to the Saints’ primary receiving weapon.
- Quarterback Tyler Shough upgraded in practice after dealing with a sore left (non‑throwing) hand and said the issue should not prevent him from playing on Sunday.
- Final availability remains contingent on Friday practice and pregame checks, with any Olave or Kamara limitation likely to force heavier roles for depth receivers and backup running backs.
