New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave was upgraded to a full participant in Friday's practice and received no injury designation ahead of the upcoming matchup against the Minnesota Vikings. Olave had missed Wednesday's session and was limited on Thursday due to a foot issue, but he is now cleared to play.

Writer Darrion Gray notes that having Olave available is crucial for quarterback Tyler Shough, especially with Kaden Elliss sidelined.
