        Alvin Kamara's Role Shrinks Amid Injury

        Alvin Kamara's Role Shrinks Amid Injury

        Saints RB Alvin Kamara played a season-low 12 snaps in Sunday's loss to the Vikings, a game he entered questionable after a back issue limited his practice time during the week. Kamara finished with just 3 carries for 12 yards and 2 catches for minus-6 on 2 targets. CJ Donaldson led the New Orleans backfield at 19 snaps, carrying four times for 13 yards and catching his only target for 7. Kendre Miller posted a 10-30-1 rushing line -- scoring the team's lone offensive TD -- while running just one pass route.

        Saints RB Alvin Kamara (back) did not practice on Wednesday. He played 28 snaps just two days ago, so this could just be early-week rest for the veteran. We'll update Kamara's status again tomorrow. His absence vs. the Vikings this weekend would leave New Orleans' backfield to Kendre Miller and C.J. Donaldson.

        The Saints are placing RB Travis Etienne on IR with his hamstring injury, HC Kellen Moore said Thursday. Etienne is out for at least the next 4 games. That extends to New Orleans' Week 8 bye, so Week 9 is the earliest we'll see Etienne again.

        Saints HC Kellen Moore confirmed that RB Travis Etienne will miss time with his hamstring injury. Exactly how much time remains unclear. It's worth noting that New Orleans has a Week 8 bye, so Etienne could miss 4 games, take the bye week, and return for Week 9. We'll see if he lands on IR later this week.

        Saints RB Alvin Kamara (knee) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Lions. RBs Kendre Miller and C.J. Donaldson are active behind RB Travis Etienne, who should handle the majority of the backfield work.

        1. 1 Travis Etienne NO RB
        2. 2 Alvin Kamara NO RB
