Saints' Alvin Kamara Out, Falcons' Desmond Ridder to Start in Crucial Game

As the Saints vie for the NFC South title, they face the Falcons without their star running back, but with the return of rookie Kendre Miller.

Alvin Kamara, the New Orleans Saints running back, is out for the game against the Atlanta Falcons due to an ankle sprain.
Desmond Ridder will start as quarterback for the Falcons in place of the injured Taylor Heinicke.
Kendre Miller, who has been sidelined for seven games due to an ankle injury, returns to the Saints' lineup.
The Saints are currently in the running for the NFC South title and can qualify as a wild card with some external help.
This is Kamara's first game missed due to injury this season; he sat out the first three games due to a suspension.
