Extending stay in Big Easy Kamara and the Saints agreed on two-year, $24.5 million extension Tuesday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

Impact Days after Kamara went to X and shut down rumors he requested a trade, he doubled down on those sentiments via an extension. The dynamic back is now under contract with the Saints through 2026. The 2017 third-round pick recorded a career-low 694 rushing yards in 2023, but he has bounced back nicely through seven games this year. Kamara has already tallied 438 yards and six touchdowns on the ground, as well as 34 receptions on 43 targets for 252 yards and one touchdown.

Stymied in Week 7 loss Kamara rushed seven times for 10 yards and brought in six of seven targets for 14 yards in the Saints' 33-10 loss to the Broncos on Thursday night.

Impact Kamara appeared to fall victim to a perfect storm of unfavorable circumstances, with New Orleans definitely swimming upstream against adversity Thursday night. Not only was Kamara playing through a hand injury on a short week, but he was up against one of the league's better defenses through the first six weeks and facing them with his team's passing game significantly short on weapons. The collection of factors predictably led to Kamara's least productive game of the season yet, with both his rushing and receiving yardage totals qualifying as season lows. Even the additional passing game work Kamara stood to see never really materialized, but he should be in much better position overall in by the time a Week 8 road matchup against the Chargers on Sunday, Oct. 27.

Clear for Week 7 Kamara (hand) doesn't have a designation for Thursday's game versus the Broncos, Ross Jackson of WWL Louisiana reports.

Impact Kamara was listed as limited on all three of the Saints' Week 7 practice reports due to a hand injury, but it won't stop him from suiting up for a seventh game in a row to start the season. He's averaging 22 touches for 111 yards from scrimmage per game while scoring seven total TDs in six contests on the campaign, a workload that shouldn't be impacted by the potential season debut of Kendre Miller this week.

Another limited listing Kamara (hand) was listed as a limited participant on Tuesday's walk-through practice,

Impact With a pair of limited listings on the Saints' first two Week 7 practice reports, Kamara might need to upgrade to full participation Wednesday to avoid a questionable designation for Thursday's game against the Broncos. At this stage, the Saints haven't suggested that Kamara's status for Thursday is in peril, but even if he's available, he could still be subject to a lighter workload than normal on a short week. Kamara has played at least 70 percent in each of the Saints' last four games and handled 18 touches (13 carries, five receptions) in this past Sunday's loss to the Buccaneers.

Limited on Monday's estimate Kamara (hand) was a limited participant on Monday's estimated injury report.

Impact The Saints didn't practice Monday, but Kamara would have been limited had the team practiced. The workhorse running back has gotten at least 17 touches in every game this season, so Kamara's naturally a little banged up, but his status for Thursday's game against the Broncos doesn't appear to be in jeopardy.

Impact Kamara saw reduced rushing volume in a game where that progressively got away from the Saints during the second half, but he still co-led the Saints in receptions during rookie quarterback Spencer Rattler's first NFL start. Kamara also tallied his sixth rushing touchdown of the season on a four-yard run late in the second quarter, rounding out his fantasy day nicely. Kamara could face a more favorable game script during Thursday night's Week 7 home matchup against the Broncos.

Cleared to face Tampa Kamara (hip/hand) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against Tampa Bay, Matthew Paras of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

Impact The Saints listed Kamara as a non-participant on Wednesday's practice estimate, after he took on a season-high 90 percent snap share in a 26-13 loss to the Chiefs on Monday. He was then a limited practice participant Thursday and Friday, apparently showing enough to avoid an injury designation for the first start of rookie QB Spencer Rattler's career. The Saints may lean on Kamara even more than usual, especially because Taysom Hill (rib) also is out this week, but the combination of Derek Carr's oblique injury and continued health struggles for the interior offensive line mean it's not the best setup for per-touch efficiency or frequent red-zone visits. The opponent, at least, appears favorable for fantasy production, although Tampa's injury-riddled defense appears somewhat healthier compared to the past few games.

Officially limited Thursday Kamara (hip/hand) practiced in a limited fashion Thursday, John Hendrix of SI.com reports.

Impact Kamara was absent from Wednesday's walkthrough due to hip and hand injuries, but his return one day later to a capped session bodes well for his status ahead of Sunday's game versus the Buccaneers. In the end, Friday's practice report will reveal whether or not he enters the weekend with a designation.
