Alvin Kamara Expected to Play vs. Falcons Despite Ankle Question

Top NFL insiders indicate the veteran will suit up, signaling a run-focused plan to support rookie QB Tyler Shough.

Overview

  • ESPN's Adam Schefter and NFL Network's Ian Rapoport report Kamara is expected to play Sunday despite a lingering ankle issue and a questionable tag.
  • The Saints did not elevate a running back from the practice squad on Saturday, a roster signal that points to Kamara being active.
  • Kamara has logged limited practices for weeks while managing the same ankle problem, yet he has continued to handle significant workloads.
  • The 2-8 Saints host the 3-7 Falcons at the Caesars Superdome at 4:25 p.m. ET on FOX, with official status finalized on the gameday inactives list.
  • Atlanta will be without WR Drake London, with QB Michael Penix Jr., CB Billy Bowman Jr. and DL Zach Harrison on injured reserve, a context that boosts Kamara's fantasy outlook.
