The New Orleans Saints enter mandatory minicamp with several offensive players still working their way back from injuries. Running back Kendre Miller remains limited as he recovers from the knee injury and surgery that ended his 2025 season, while rookie wide receiver Jordyn Tyson continues progressing from a lingering hamstring issue. Fellow receiver Trey Palmer is also being brought along cautiously as he works back from the hamstring injury that cost him significant time last season. The Saints are hopeful all three players can increase their workloads as training camp approaches.
Chris Olave - Blood Clots
Olave continues to make steady progress in his recovery from the blood clot condition that sidelined him during the 2025 season. The Saints receiver has been limited throughout the offseason program because he remains on blood thinners, preventing him from participating in contact activities. However, the latest update is highly encouraging, as Olave is expected to come off the medication on June 29. According to reports, his recovery has gone exactly as planned, with no setbacks along the way. Once he is cleared off the blood thinners, Olave is expected to resume full football activities and should be a full participant for training camp. Barring any unexpected developments, the Saints believe he will be ready to go entering the 2026 season.
Kendre Miller - Knee
Miller continues to recover from the torn ACL he suffered in Week 7 last season. The Saints running back was limited during minicamp, but his rehab is progressing.
New Orleans is expected to ramp him up during training camp, though he will be competing for reps in a crowded backfield.
Jordyn Tyson - Hamstring
Tyson has been limited during Saints OTAs as he continues to work through a hamstring injury that lingered from his final college season into the pre-draft process. The rookie receiver has been on a carefully managed workload and has not participated fully in individual drills or 7-on-7 periods as the team takes a cautious approach to his recovery. The Saints limited him during minicamp, but this is not considered a new injury. He remains on track for training camp, with the team focused on avoiding any setback during his ramp-up.
Trey Palmer - Hamstring
Palmer remains limited during Saints OTAs as he continues recovering from the hamstring injury that sidelined him for a significant portion of the 2025 season. The veteran receiver has been rehabbing throughout the offseason and has been held out of multiple OTA sessions while working his way back. Palmer is expected to attend mandatory minicamp, though he will likely begin in a limited capacity as New Orleans manages his workload. The expectation is that he will continue ramping up toward full participation by the start of training camp.
