Saints wide receiver Chris Olave is back on the field practicing Thursday. NewOrleans.Football's Nick Underhill revealed that Olave got cleared by a specialist on Tuesday and could resume practicing. Interim head coach Darren Rizzi started off his weekly press conference giving major updates on Olave, Alvin Kamara and Derek Carr.

Chris Olave Update:

Rizzi said that Olave's 21-day window has been opened and that he was limited in practice. Rizzi said that they are going to take things step-by-step with him, being happy more for Olave as a person than a player.

Olave was spotted at practice in uniform catching passes off to the side with trainers. Obviously, it would be premature to say that he'll play on Monday night in Green Bay, but they're going to see how he feels.

Alvin Kamara Update:

Alvin Kamara is considered week-to-week right now with his groin adductor injury. Rizzi indicated that initial tests had looked positive, but it appears to be more significant at this point and his status against the Packers is in jeopardy.

ESPN's Adam Schefter noted that the injury is possibly season-ending and that he may not play again this year. Kamara is just 50 yards shy of his first 1,000-yard rushing season. ...

The New Orleans Saints are hiring California Golden Bears defensive coordinator Peter Sirmon to come work as their new linebackers coach, per ESPN’s Pete Thamel. He’s another new arrival with few connections to the old Sean Payton-Dennis Allen regime, and will work as a position coach under defensive coordinator Brandon Staley.

Sirmon, 48, was a fourth-round pick by the Tennessee Titans back in 2000 and played for them until 2006. A former linebacker himself, he’s continued to coach that position at a number of college stops over the years — he overlapped with Terry Joseph, the Saints’...

Alontae Taylor spent time with the athletes at the HBCU Legacy Bowl over the course of the week and reflected on his experience with New Orleans Saints team reporter Erin Summers.

The 2025 NFL draft is growing ever nearer, and with a new head coach for the New Orleans Saints, things have become even more interesting when it comes to predicting their draft needs. As Kellen Moore begins to build his coaching staff, and eventually his roster through free agency, he will have decisions to make on who to allow to depart and replace with draft prospects.

With Daniel Jeremiah of NFL Media recently completing his yearly pre-combine conference call discussing this year’s top prospects, we figured we would take a look at what he had to say regarding the prospects many Saints fans have been calling for in recent weeks. Keep in mind there are some left out due to them not being discussed, the four listed are some of the most common players of intrigue lately, however. Some of them have been popular picks in fan-driven mock drafts, others look like shoo-in picks for Kellen Moore and Co. to build around.

With that said, here is what Jeremiah had for analysis on some of the top prospects Saints fans have linked to their team.

When it comes time to narrow down prospects for the 2025 NFL draft, Joseph could provide some key insight on a couple of top prospects that would make sense as targets for the Saints. He’s had hands-on experience coaching several Longhorns defensive...

The 2025 NFL Combine is nearly here, and this will be a massive week for the New Orleans Saints. The coaching staff is almost complete, and this will be the first time they can get their eyes on some prospects as a collective group. Regarding the Combine as a whole, this is the time when certain prospects’ positions on draft boards drastically change.
