Alvin Kamara - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Ready for Sunday Kamara (rest/back) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game versus the Browns.

Impact Kamara went from DNP due to rest/back Wednesday to limited Thursday and finally full Friday, paving the way for him to be available to the Saints backfield. With fellow RB CJ Donaldson (shoulder/concussion) sidelined this weekend, it'll be Kamara and Kendre Miller to handle the load Sunday.

Limited Thursday Kamara (rest/back) was limited at Thursday's practice, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Kamara followed up Wednesday's absence from practice with some activity one day later as he eases into the week due to a lingering back issue. Friday's injury report will reveal if he has a designation for Sunday's game against the Browns.

Returns to practice Thursday Kamara (rest/back) returned to practice Thursday, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

Impact The veteran was back on the field Thursday after getting a rest day to open the practice week. Kamara has also dealt with a back issue that limited his practice participation in recent weeks. The Saints are coming off a bye, so the added time off likely bodes well for Kamara being closer to full strength heading into Week 9 against the Browns. New Orleans' practice report will provide insight on Kamara's participation level, but he seems to be trending in the right direction regardless.

DNP due to rest, back Kamara (rest/back) didn't practice Wednesday.

Impact The Saints cited rest and back as the reasons for Kamara's absence to begin Week 9 prep, the latter of which impacted his practice reps in each of the three games before the team's Week 8 bye. During that stretch, he tallied 27 touches for 137 yards from scrimmage and one receiving TD. Kamara will have two more opportunities to practice this week and put himself in a position to avoid a designation for Sunday's contest against the Browns.

Saints rush for just 18 yards in 16-10 loss to Steelers to spoil their Paris week

Heavy workload as pass catcher Sunday Kamara carried the ball six times for five yards and caught all seven of his targets for 57 yards in Sunday's 16-10 loss to the Steelers.

Impact The Saints' ground game was completely shut down, as quarterback Tyler Shough led the team with a mere seven rushing yards, but Kamara still contributed through the air and led New Orleans in catches while tying Barion Brown for the game high in receiving yards. Since missing the season opener, Kamara has put together 258 scrimmage yards and three total TDs (two rushing, one receiving) over six games, but the backfield could get more crowded after a Week 8 bye if Travis Etienne (hamstring) is cleared to return.

Cleared from injury report Kamara (back) was limited at Friday's practice but does not have an injury designation for Week 7, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Kamara did not get a full practice in all week, but it appears that was simply for management purposes, as he will not head into Week 7 with any sort of injury tag. He shared the backfield duties with Kendre Miller and CJ Donaldson each of the last three weeks, and with Travis Etienne (hamstring) spending at least one more game on injured reserve, he figures to do the same Sunday in Paris.

Limited again Thursday Kamara (back) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Kamara now has logged back-to-back capped practices to begin Week 7 prep as he deals with a back concern for a third consecutive week. He's been able to play through it, but his snap shares in Week 5 (27 percent) and Week 6 (26 percent) didn't equate to much work (14 touches for 75 yards from scrimmage and one receiving TD). Friday's injury report will unveil whether or not Kamara enters the weekend with a designation for Sunday's contest versus the Steelers in Paris.

Still dealing with back issue Kamara (back) practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday, Katherine Terrell of ESPN reports.

Impact This now marks three weeks in a row in which Kamara has had practice restrictions due to a back issue, but he's been able to play through it the last two games, accounting for 75 yards from scrimmage and one receiving TD on 14 touches during that stretch. The Saints may limit his on-field work Thursday and/or Friday, but there's been no indication he's in danger of missing Sunday's contest against the Steelers in Paris.

Gets into end zone against Giants Kamara carried the ball seven times for 34 yards and caught two of four targets for 35 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-27 win over the Giants.

Impact The veteran RB left the game in the first half due to an undisclosed injury, but he was cleared to return and connected with Tyler Shough for a 31-yard score in the third quarter. Kamara's seven touches were well behind Kendre Miller's 22, but his 69 scrimmage yards were just one shy of Miller's 70 for the team lead. The duo will split backfield duties for at least one more game in Week 7 against the Steelers, before Travis Etienne (hamstring) will be eligible to come off IR after a Week 8 bye.

Back in Sunday's game Kamara (undisclosed) returned to Sunday's contest at the Giants.

Impact Kamara missed some time in the first half after attempting to haul in a pass from QB Tyler Shough down the left sideline, but his return indicates he'll attempt to gut through whatever is affecting him. Having said that, the Saints are continuing to employ a timeshare between Kamara, Kendre Miller and CJ Donaldson out of the backfield, so Kamara's current outlook isn't exactly fantasy friendly.
