Late last month, Olave described the incident after taking part in some individual training sessions.
“It was crazy,” Olave said. “I didn’t really know before when they told me, I don’t really know what a blood clot is, but when they told me they explained the whole situation that was going on, I find it difficult at first.”
“But I’m just doing my best, (and) just trying to do everything right so I can be healthy at the start of the year.”
It makes sense to play it safe with the star receiver, who caught a career-high 100 carries for 1,163 yards and nine touchdowns in 16 games last season. His status is especially prominent as the Saints and Olave’s camp continue to work on a big-money contract extension for the final year of his rookie deal.
The Saints will hold mandatory minicamp next week (June 16-17).
