Overview
- Chris Olave was added to the team injury report with a hamstring after Thursday practice, was limited again Friday and is officially listed as questionable for Sunday’s game.
- Chase Young was limited in practice with a calf issue and is also listed as questionable, leaving the Saints uncertain about a key pass-rush piece for the matchup.
- FantasyPros’ injury model gave Olave roughly an 83% chance to play as of Saturday, but outlets and the team say the final call will come from Sunday warmups and short-term responses to treatment.
- Running back Alvin Kamara practiced fully and is expected to play after missing Week 1, while the Saints are prepared to promote receivers from the practice squad if Olave is inactive.
- Olave’s possible absence would thin New Orleans’ receiving room and force route-distribution and play-call adjustments, and Young’s status could directly affect the Saints’ ability to pressure Lamar Jackson and defend the run.
