The Saints did not have a full practice on Tuesday. But if they had, one of their key players wouldn’t have been on the field.
New Orleans listed receiver Chris Olave as a non-participant on the day’s injury report estimate with a hamstring issue.
Olave was on the field for 49 percent of New Orleans’ offensive snaps in the club’s 21-18 victory over the Falcons on Sunday, making three catches for 53 yards. He leads the Saints with 63 catches and 940 receiving yards. He’s scored three touchdowns.
Guard Cesar Ruiz (foot), running back Dwayne Washington (illness), and linebacker Pete Werner (hamstring) also would not have practiced.
Cornerback Marshon Lattimore (abdomen), who hasn’t played since Week Five was listed as limited. Safety Marcus Maye (shoulder), tight end Adam Trautman (ankle), safety P.J. Williams (knee), and offensive tackle Ryan Ramczyk (rest) were also limited.
