Alvin Kamara - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Fantasy Football Injury Impact: Travis Etienne Will Miss Time, Opening The Door For Alvin Kamara And A Sleeper The latest injury update on New Orleans Saints running back Travis Etienne and the fantasy football impact.

2 HOURS AGO • SI.COM

Ten touches in Week 3 loss Kamara carried the ball nine times for 36 yards and caught his only target for five yards in Sunday's 35-27 loss to the Raiders.

Impact The veteran RB once again took a back seat to Travis Etienne to begin the game, but that changed after the former Jaguar aggravated a hamstring strain and left the game in the third quarter. Over the Saints' last five possessions, Kamara split the workload in the backfield with Kendre Miller, getting six touches to Miller's five. The severity of Etienne's injury isn't yet clear, but if he misses significant time, Kamara and Miller would likely continue working in tandem, with rookie CJ Donaldson also potentially mixing in as a short-yardage option.

Unimpressive in 2026 debut Kamara rushed nine times for 15 yards and caught five of six targets for seven yards in Sunday's 24-17 win over the Ravens.

Impact It's difficult to be less efficient than this, as Kamara's 16 opportunities produced a total of 22 yards. It was the veteran running back's season debut after he missed the entire preseason and Week 1 recovering from a sprained MCL. Kamara made the start alongside Travis Etienne, who turned his eight carries into 25 yards while securing both of his targets for six yards. The Saints continue to use a full-blown three-man committee out of the backfield, as Etienne led the trio with 37 snaps to Kamara's 20 and CJ Donaldson's 20. Now 31 years old and coming off a knee injury, Kamara may not have a whole lot left in the tank.

'Feeling great' ahead of Week 2 Kamara (knee) said Thursday that he "feels great" and has "no limitations" in advance of Sunday's game at Baltimore, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Kamara made an early exit from an Aug. 18 joint practice with the Cowboys and was diagnosed with an MCL sprain that was expected to sideline him for one month. While he was inactive for the Saints' Week 1 contest in Detroit, he followed up back-to-back limited sessions with a full practice last Friday, indicating that he was closing in on a return to action. With a pair of uncapped practices so far this week, he's in line to join Travis Etienne out of the Saints backfield Sunday, and potentially without any limits on his potential workload.

Good to go for Week 2 Kamara (knee) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.

Impact New Orleans' backfield will get a boost in Week 2 with Kamara back in the mix after missing the season opener with a knee injury. The veteran injured his knee late in the preseason and returned to practice ahead of Week 1 but was not yet ready to give it a go. His full practice Wednesday points to Kamara being available for Sunday's game against the Ravens.

Inactive for Week 1 Kamara (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Lions, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

Impact It was reported earlier Sunday that Kamara was unlikely to suit up for the opener, and he has indeed been ruled out for Week 1, leaving the New Orleans backfield to starter Travis Etienne, fellow reserve Kendre Miller and practice squad call-up CJ Donaldson. Kamara was able to practice fully Friday, which bodes well for his chances of being ready to go for Week 2.

SEPTEMBER 13 • THEBIGLEAD.COM

Not expected to play Week 1 Kamara (knee) isn't in line to play Sunday in Detroit and is instead slated to make his season debut Week 2 at Baltimore, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

Impact Kamara departed a joint practice with the Cowboys on Aug. 18 early and was diagnosed with an MCL sprain that was expected to sideline him for one month. While he followed up back-to-back limited sessions to begin Week 1 prep with a full practice Friday, the Saints will exercise caution with the 10th-year pro and allow him another week to get healthier. In Kamara's anticipated absence Sunday, New Orleans will roll with Travis Etienne as its lead runner, with Kendre Miller and practice-squad call-up CJ Donaldson the other candidates for RB reps.
