Chris Olave Tweaks Ankle at Practice

Friday, August 8, 10:04 PM

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave (ankle) was held out of Friday's scrimmage after he tweaked his ankle Thursday. Olave watched the full scrimmage and didn't appear to be in significant pain. Olave finished practice on Thursday despite initially having his ankle taped. Despite missing practice, there is little to no concern about Olave's ankle, and he was held out of practice as a precaution. Saints head coach Kellen Moore stated that "half a dozen starters would not suit up for their preseason game against the Los Angeles Chargers on Saturday," so expect Olave to be a part of that group. This likely has no significant impact on his current value, but it is worth monitoring. UPDATE: Olave's ankle injury is considered insignificant, and he's listed as day-to-day. He should be back soon.

Xavier Worthy Avoids Concussion

Friday, August 1, 2:07 PM

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy (head) was not diagnosed with a concussion and has been cleared by NFL and team doctors, according to Chiefs head coach Andy Reid. Worthy left practice on Tuesday with a head injury, but he appears to have avoided significant missed time. The second-year wide receiver is in line for a key role in Kansas City's offense, especially with fellow wideout Rashee Rice likely facing an early-season suspension. As a rookie in 2024, Worthy played all 17 games, racking up 742 yards from scrimmage and nine total touchdowns. Chiefs coaches and quarterback Patrick Mahomes have been vocal about wanting to throw downfield more in 2025. That should benefit Worthy, whose speed is his greatest asset as a wide receiver.
