Saints Training Camp Day 1: Olave holds in, Tyson debuts - Louisiana Sports

What the report says

Louisianasports.net reported that the New Orleans Saints opened training camp Wednesday with several notable developments, led by wide receiver Chris Olave taking part only in limited work while contract-extension talks continue. According to the report, Olave joined walkthroughs and individual periods but stayed out of team and 7-on-7 drills, a common “hold-in” approach for players seeking long-term deals. Head coach Kellen Moore described the situation as a coordinated decision with clear communication between the sides.

The outlet also highlighted the camp debut of rookie wide receiver Jordyn Tyson, whom the team had handled cautiously during offseason practices. Tyson participated in team drills, caught a short pass from quarterback Tyler Shough and was seen spending extra time with Shough, coaches and other receivers. Cornerback Kool-Aid McKinstry drew strong reviews after breaking up plays early in practice, with Moore and safety Justin Reid among those praising his development entering his third year.

A potentially significant concern emerged on defense. Louisianasports.net cited an NFL Network report that defensive lineman Bryan Bresee may have sustained a torn ACL and was awaiting further testing. If confirmed, the injury would end his 2026 season and force the Saints to lean more heavily on younger interior defensive line options such as Vernon Broughton and Christen Miller.

Attendance was otherwise strong, aside from players already on injury lists. The report said Mason Tipson and Keeshawn Silver opened on the physically unable to perform list, while Zxavian Harris and Cody Hardy were on the non-football injury list. The first practice featured early team and 7-on-7 work, some ball-security issues noted by Moore, and a perfect 5-for-5 kicking day from Charlie Smyth.
