The Saints placed RB Devin Neal on IR with the hamstring injury he suffered in Week 15, ending the rookie's season. Neal tallied 153 total yards in two games as New Orleans' lead back. He averaged just 3.6 yards per carry on the season, though, and ranked 56th in yards after contact per attempt and dead last among 58 qualifying RBs in Pro Football Focus' rushing grades. Neal will probably need to fight for a roster spot next summer. We'll see if RB Alvin Kamara makes it back this season. If not, New Orleans will roll with RBs Audric Estime and Evan Hull the rest of the way.

Saints RB Devin Neal (hamstring) is out for Sunday's game vs. the Jets, HC Kellen Moore said Wednesday. Don't be surprised if the rookie is done for the season with what seems like a relatively significant hamstring injury. RB Alvin Kamara (knee, ankle) remained sidelined on Wednesday and looks likely to miss another game. That'd leave New Orleans' backfield to Audric Estime and Evan Hull vs. the Jets this weekend. The team also signed RB Nyheim Hines to the practice squad on Wednesday. This is a backfield to avoid in Week 16 fantasy lineups.

Alvin Kamara sprained his right MCL early in the Saints' Week 12 loss to Atlanta. After Kamar departed the game, Devin Neal played 57 of the team's final 66 snaps and was the only RB to receive a carry or target. Neal didn't find a lot of running room, rushing for just 18 yards on his 7 attempts, but he did catch 5-of-7 targets for 43 yards.

Saints RB Alvin Kamara suffered an MCL sprain in Sunday's loss to the Falcons, according to New Orleans Football's Nick Underhill. The severity of the sprain will determine how long Kamara will be sidelined. "He could take a little time, but nothing that's super serious or threatening long term," Underhill writes. "Hard to know how long. Alvin and his team often beat timelines." We should learn more about Kamara's injury over the next day or two, but consider him more likely than not to miss Week 13's game against the Dolphins. Devin Neal will take over as the Saints' lead back if Kamara misses time. He's far from an exciting fantasy option but could provide RB3-level production. We also saw Taysom Hill tally eight carries in the second half of the Falcons game.

Saints RB Alvin Kamara suffered a knee injury in the first half of Sunday's game vs. the Falcons and is officially questionable to return. His absence leaves Devin Neal as New Orleans' lead back. We'll update Kamara's status when we know more.

Update: Kamara has been ruled out.

Saints RB Alvin Kamara (ankle) is expected to play vs. the Falcons today, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. Kamara was limited in practice all week and listed as questionable, but he's been playing through this ankle injury for multiple weeks now. He's fine to keep in fantasy lineups as a fringe RB2.

Saints RB Alvin Kamara (ankle) was limited in practice all week and is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Falcons. He’s been playing through this ankle injury for a while now and should be fine for this one. We’ll look for further updates on Kamara but won’t get New Orleans’ inactives a little before 3 pm ET on Sunday.

If you hoped the season-ending injury for RB Kendre Miller would rebound Alvin Kamara's touch counts ... then you've been wildly disappointed in the weeks since. Kamara logged his second straight six carries in Sunday's lopsided loss to the Rams. It was New Orleans' third consecutive loss by double digits and the second straight by 20+ points. That would seem like good conditions for Kamara's target volume, at least. But the veteran has seen three targets or fewer in three straight games and totaled 6 catches for 28 yards over that span.

Saints RB Kendre Miller is questionable to return to Sunday's game vs. the Bears with a knee injury. We'll pass along an update on the injury when we get one. Miller's absence should mean more work for RB Alvin Kamara. Rookie RB Devin Neal is also active today.

Update: Miller has been ruled out.

Saints RB Alvin Kamara (ankle) is not listed on the final injury report for this weekend’s game vs. the Bears. He didn’t practice on Wednesday but was limited on Thursday and a full-go on Friday. Kamara played his usual role through this ankle issue last week and should do the same in Chicago on Sunday.

Saints RB Alvin Kamara (ankle) remained limited in Thursday's practice. The fact that he was able to get out there on back-to-back days should have him on track to play vs. the Patriots this weekend. But we'll see how Kamara is listed on Friday's final injury report.

Saints RB Alvin Kamara (ankle) was limited in Wednesday's practice. New Orleans Football's Nick Underhill reports that Kamara hurt the ankle in the first half of last week's game and was still dealing with some soreness today. It "isn’t anything serious," Underhill adds. "He’ll be day-to-day this week." It sounds like Kamara will be available for Sunday's game against the Patriots, but the ankle adds more risk to a player who's already trending down. RB Kendre Miller should be rostered in virtually all fantasy leagues at this point.

Saints RB Devin Neal will miss "a couple weeks" with a hamstring injury, per HC Kellen Moore. Neal, a Round 6 rookie, was in a battle for the No. 2 RB job behind Alvin Kamara. His absence raises the late-round appeal of Kendre Miller, who'll still have to beat out Clyde Edwards-Helaire and others for the handcuff role.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports that Saints QB Derek Carr has a shoulder injury that might cost him the upcoming season.

The Saints have ruled RB Alvin Kamara out for Monday night's game against the Packers because of his groin injury. That comes as no surprise and aligns with what HC Darren Rizzi indicated earlier this week.

Interim HC Darren Rizzi commented that RB Alvin Kamara's groin injury is more serious than they initially thought. He also said that it doesn't look good for Kamara to return this week. If Kamara can't go, RB Kendre Miller will likely be the lead back for the Saints against the Packers on Monday Night Football.

Update: ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that, while Kamara is still being evaluated, his injury could be season-ending.

Saints RB Alvin Kamara is considered "day-to-day" with the groin injury he suffered in Sunday's loss to the Commanders, according to insider Nick Underhill. Kamara had an MRI after the game, which evidently revealed a relatively minor injury. He has an extra day to get ready for next Monday night's game vs. the Packers. We'll track his status throughout the week. Kamara's absence would leave Kendre Miller as New Orleans' lead back.
