WR Chris Olave continues to progress through the concussion protocol while teammates Michael Thomas and Jarvis Landry both missed practice.

With the Saints' odd —if effective— usage of Taysom Hill, it's hard to say who would benefit if Thomas and Landry miss Week 6. Olave would be the most obvious choice, but after him and may just be Hill and Alvin Kamara. Marquez Callaway is the next best bet but we currently have him ranked as the WR52.

Chris Olave, Jarvis Landry and Michael Thomas listed as NDP along with Deonte Harty.

Olave is dealing with a concussion and never returned after catching a touchdown and hitting his head on the turf last week. Thomas has missed the last two weeks with his foot injury and isn't off to a great start for Week 6. Landy is dealing with an ankle injury. With Harty also listed as DNP, the Saints could be looking at a top-three of Callaway, Smith and Kirkwood in Week 6.

No updates on Michael Thomas other than he’s still dealing with toe injury.

“He’s out right now and hopefully he’s going to get well and we’re going to be able to get him back,” Dennis Allen said on Michael Thomas. Thomas will probably need to get back to at least a limited participation to have a shot to go in Week 5. Landy was also not spotted at practice today. Kamara has a chance to be back and could see an increased role, especially in the passing game.

Jameis Winston and Michael Thomas were not at the open portion of Saints practice today.

Terrell later tweet that HC Dennis Allen said the only update on Winston is that he's still rehabbing and is getting better. "We're just trying to get him healthy." Dalton played fairly well in the team's loss to the Vikings in London. Unfortunately for owners, Hill stole a touchdown late in the game. With Winston out, Hill will likely continue to see some gadget plays lining up at QB. Hill rushed five times for 21 yards in the game.

Saints WR Michael Thomas is out, and QB Jameis Winston is doubtful for Sunday, per coach Dennis Allen. Andy Dalton is in line to start against the Vikings in London.

Dalton gets the start, but it's fair to wonder how much run Taysom Hill will also get. Dalton makes for a desperation start in 2QB leagues.

Saints WRs Michael Thomas (foot) and Jarvis Landry (ankle) both officially did not practice on Wednesday.

Olave went off for 9 catches and 147 yards when the two got banged up last week against the Panthers. The Saints are flying to London for a Sunday morning game against the Vikings so owners will have plenty of time for adjusting lineups if both are out.

Saints WR Michael Thomas (hamstring) and Falcons WR Drake London (knee) are both expected to play in Sunday's game in Atlanta.

Both were listed as questionable as both were limited all week. But both seem ready to roll in Sunday's early NFC South matchup. Thomas will be playing his first game since the Saints' playoff loss against the Buccaneers after the 2020 season. With Chris Olave and Jarvis Landry in the mix, the Saints can take it easy if they need to with Thomas, but you know Thomas is eager to get out on the field for a regular-season game. Thomas is currently our No. 30 WR this week.

As for London, he can be a tricky start. Between the injury and his first NFL start against a strong Saints defense, he's a bit of a risky start. Kyle Pitts will likely see a chunk of the targets. The Falcons can also mix in Olamide Zaccheaus and KhaDarel Hodge. London checks in at No. 48 on the half-PPR WR rankings.

Dennis Allen on whether Saints WR Michael Thomas will play: "We'll see. I don’t want to get into any specifics. We'll see where he's at, but certainly he's progressing."

The tweet went on to say Allen also said Thomas "looked good. We're working him back in. ... But again, another positive step." Triplett went on to quote Thomas as saying he felt great and that he's going to try and top his performance from the 2019 season. Triplett added these are all positive signs for his availability for Week 1 but he was still limited Wednesday in practice.

I'm told Michael Thomas was present at the Saints' closed walk-through on Monday, another positive sign for his playing status on Sunday.

The tweet went on to say Wednesday's practice is the first installation of the game plan for the Falcons game, a critical one for Thomas and the Saints. We should perhaps know a little better later Wednesday.

Jameis Winston sprained his right foot during the Saints' practice on August 8th, causing him to miss the team's first two preseason games. Returning to practice is a significant step towards a full return.

The article mentions that he had both of his feet "heavily taped" but could still move around normally. Winston isn't known for his wheels, so as long as his lower body is structurally sound, it shouldn't affect his game too much. If he is forced to miss time, we would presumably see veteran Andy Dalton man the quarterback position, but Winston will offer a higher upside for the Saints pass-catchers.
