Saints RB Alvin Kamara (knee) is not expected to play vs. the Lions today, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. It's a slight surprise after Kamara was a full-go in Friday's practice, but he's still not even 4 weeks removed from his MCL sprain. Kamara's absence should mean more passing-down snaps for RB Travis Etienne, who should see plenty of volume today.

Saints RB Alvin Kamara (knee) is "ready to go" for this weekend's opener vs. the Lions, HC Kellen Moore said Friday. Kamara is listed as questionable but was a full participant in Friday's practice.

Saints RB Alvin Kamara (knee) got in a limited practice on Wednesday. He's three weeks removed from an MCL injury that was expected to cost him a month, but it looks like he at least has a chance to play vs. the Lions this weekend.

Saints RB Alvin Kamara left a scrimmage with the Dallas Cowboys with a knee injury. ESPN's Adam Schefter reported that the injury was a sprained MCL and will miss at least the next month with the injury.

The Saints are finalizing a contract restructure with RB Alvin Kamara, according to Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.football.

Saints RB Alvin Kamara has been bandied as a trade or cut candidate all offseason, especially since the arrival of RB Travis Etienne. But, appearing on Terron Armstead's The Set on Monday, Kamara sounded set on returning for another season in New Orleans.

Saints HC Kellen Moore says "he plans on having Alvin Kamara in the running back room and thinks he and [Travis] Etienne can fit together well," according to Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football. The Saints, of course, signed Etienne to a four-year, $48 million deal -- including $28 million in guarantees -- this offseason. Kamara's heading into the final year of his contract, with a $10.5 million cap hit. He'll turn 31 in late July.

The Saints are expected to sign RB Travis Etienne Jr., according to multiple reports. He spent his first five years with the Jaguars after arriving as a first-round pick, outlasting head coaches Urban Meyer and Doug Pederson before playing 2025 under Liam Coen. Etienne turned 27 in January. He's getting a four-year, $52 million pact with New Orleans, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
