Alvin Kamara Likely To Be Active For Saints' Week 2 Game

Coach Kellen Moore said Kamara was held out last week for limited practice reps; his return would shift passing‑down work away from Travis Etienne Jr.

Overview

The Saints reported Kamara has resumed full practice and Moore said he probably could have played in the opener but was withheld because he lacked enough practice 'time on task'.
Kamara missed the opener after a mid‑August MCL sprain that initially projected a multiweek absence and limited his team reps in training camp.
If the team activates him, Kamara is expected to take the bulk of passing‑down snaps and likely reduce Travis Etienne Jr.'s share of targets in the receiving game.
New Orleans used a multi‑back approach in Week 1, with Etienne logging nine carries and seven receptions, Keandre Miller scoring a rushing TD, and C.J. Donaldson seeing limited snaps.
Moore's practice‑based availability decision underscores ongoing roster trust and depth questions and makes the Saints' official game‑day designation the key next update to watch.
