Second-year Saints wide receiver Chris Olave once again did not participate in practice at the team's training facility in Metairie on Thursday.
Olave, who caught a touchdown pass from Derek Carr with six minutes to play in the fourth quarter of the Saints' 28-6 win over the Panthers on Sunday, is currently tending to an ankle injury.
The 11th overall pick in the NFL Draft was on the field for 34-of-52 offensive snaps against Carolina and caught four passes for 28 yards, including the seven-yard score. That came after missing practice all last week due to illness.
After 13 games played this season, Olave has already matched last year's total in receptions and touchdowns two games ahead of schedule. In his rookie season, Olave hauled in 72 catches for 1,042 yards and 4 touchdowns. So far, Olave has 918 yards receiving and is on track to surpass all three totals with four games remaining.
No word yet as to Olave's availability against the New York Giants in Week 15.
Rookies Isaiah Foskey (DE) and Kendre Miller (RB) also missed practice. Neither played against Carolina due to quadricep and ankle injuries, respectively.
Other Saints on Thursday's injury report include:
- T/G – Andrus Peat, Illness — FP
- QB – Taysom Hill, Foot/Left Hand — LP
- DE – Cameron Jordan, Ankle — LP
- WR – Rashid Shaheed, Thigh — LP
- T – Ryan Ramczyk, NIR-Rest/Knee — FP
- RB – Jamaal Williams, Groin — LP
The Saints (6-7) are in a three-way tie for first in the NFC South with both the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (6-7) and Atlanta Falcons (6-7) possessing a tie-breaker advantage over New Orleans.
The Saints close out a three-game homestand by hosting the Giants (5-8) on Sunday.
Kickoff is set for noon.
