Saints HC Before training camp, Dennis Allen discloses that star wide receiver Chris Olave is coping with an injury.
Offseason injuries are always concerning. It is always a bad idea to lose players, particularly important ones, before the actual games start. On Wednesday, the New Orleans Saints were given some unsettling news.
In the midst of getting ready for mandatory minicamp, one of their best offensive players recently sustained an injury.
Saints wide receiver Chris Olave has a shoulder injury.
That fact was disclosed by head coach Dennis Allen during his Wednesday afternoon press conference following practice. Some people took notice when Olave appeared on the field wearing a red non-contact jersey.
He explained that Olave experienced a “tweak” in the weight room. Allen says it happened a few weeks ago.
It didn’t sound like a serious injury. If the tweak caused him to miss any significant time, I’d be shocked.
Instead, to make sure he recovers fully, the Saints will likely just keep him upright for the remainder of the offseason. Next week, the Saints kick off training camp. We will observe Olave’s level of involvement.
In his NFL career, Olave has only missed two games during the regular season.
