Alvin Kamara produces another banner day for New Orleans Saints Shemar Jean-Charles intercepts first pass in first NFL start
Eclipses 200 total yards in loss Kamara rushed 29 times for 155 yards and secured six of nine targets for 60 yards in the Saints' 23-22 loss to the Panthers on Sunday.
Impact With Jamaal Williams (groin) and Kendre Miller (IR, hamstring) unavailable, Kamara logged his heaviest workload of the season and made excellent use of the opportunity against a highly vulnerable defense. The versatile veteran was the Saints' leader in both rushing and receiving yards, with the former total a season high and latter tally partly the byproduct of Chris Olave exiting the game in the first quarter due to a concussion. Kamara now has at least five receptions in six consecutive games as well heading into a Week 10 home divisional matchup against the Falcons.

Ready for Week 9 Kamara (hand/rib) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game at Carolina, John Hendrix of SI.com reports.
Impact Kamara operated with a cap on his reps all week as he continues to tend to fractured ribs and a broken hand, but the health concerns won't stop him from being cleared ahead of a fifth consecutive contest. He's thus poised for his typical workload of 20.1 touches per game versus a Carolina defense that has allowed the most touchdowns (15) to opposing running backs in eight outings this season.

Another limited showing Kamara (hand/rib) practiced on a limited basis Thursday, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Kamara continues to be plagued by the fractured ribs he suffered Week 3 and a broken hand that he picked up Week 5. Still, he's remained the most reliable skill-position player for the Saints along the way, averaging 20.1 touches for 101.5 yards from scrimmage per game while scoring seven total TDs in eight contests. Friday's injury report will reveal whether Kamara goes into the weekend without a designation for a fifth week in a row.

Limited Wednesday Kamara (hand/rib) was limited at Wednesday's practice, John Hendrix of SI.com reports.
Impact Kamara has been tending to fractured ribs since Week 3 and a broken right hand Week 5, which have regularly resulted in a cap on his practice reps in the meantime. In six games during that span, he's racked up 522 yards from scrimmage and two rushing TDs on 119 touches, but he's averaged only 3.6 yards per carry and 6.5 yards per catch. Kamara has a pair of sessions remaining this week to get back to full participation or else potentially risking entering the weekend with a designation for Sunday's visit to the Panthers.

Shows some burst in loss Kamara posted 10 carries for 67 yards and gathered in six of 11 targets for 55 yards during Sunday's 26-8 loss to the Chargers.
Impact Kamara added a spark to this listless Saints offense Week 8. The 29-year-old is still working his dealing with a broken hand suffered Week 5 and broken ribs suffered Week 3, but neither appeared to affect him as he logged three explosive plays Sunday. This included a team-long 37-yard reception on a screen pass and a 24-yard carry on which he fought through multiple defenders. Kamara still logged his second-fewest carries of any game this season, and he's now averaged 10.3 rushing attempts and 8.5 targets per game over the last four weeks. While his workload has taken a slight dip recently, Kamara should still play a significant role during next week's game versus the Panthers on Sunday, Nov. 3.

Cleared for Week 8 Kamara (hand/rib) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports.
Impact Kamara was a limited participant in each of the Saints' three practices this week while he managed a pair of injuries, but neither the broken right hand suffered back in Week 5 nor the broken ribs he suffered Week 3 will keep him from playing in Los Angeles. For the third straight week, Kamara will be joined in the backfield by quarterback Spencer Rattler rather than Derek Carr (oblique), who is listed as doubtful and is unlikely to play. In Rattler's first two starts under center, Kamara's efficiency has taken a big hit, with the running back carrying 20 times for 50 yards (2.5 average) and a touchdown to go with 11 catches for 38 yards (3.5 average) on 15 targets between losses to the Buccaneers and Broncos. In addition to the shaky quarterback play, Kamara's red-zone opportunities could take a hit with Taysom Hill (rib) set to return from a three-game absence to present the Saints with another option in short-yardage situations.

Limited again Thursday Kamara (hand/rib) was limited at Thursday's practice, John Hendrix of SI.com reports.
Impact Kamara continues to be plagued by a broken hand and rib fractures, which has resulted in back-to-back capped sessions to begin Week 8 prep. He'll thus have Friday's practice to get back to full participation or otherwise risk heading into the weekend with a designation for Sunday's contest at the Chargers. Assuming he's able to suit up, per usual, Kamara should be good for his usual 20.7 touches per game on the season.

Alvin Kamara takes huge step toward finishing career as a New Orleans Saint Kamara signed two-year contract extension
OCTOBER 23 • NEWORLEANSSAINTS.COM
Limited Wednesday Kamara (hand/rib) was limited at practice Wednesday, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Kamara told Matthew Paras of The New Orleans Times-Picayune on Wednesday that he's been playing through a broken hand the last two games and still is dealing with the broken ribs that he suffered Week 3 against the Eagles. In four outings since then, he's racked up 74 touches for 273 yards from scrimmage and two rushing TDs, displaying that he remains productive on a week-to-week basis. Kamara will have two more chances to get back to full participation this week or else possibly risk heading into Sunday's contest at the Chargers with a designation.
OCTOBER 23 • ROTOWIRE
Playing through broken hand Kamara said Wednesday that he played the past two games with a broken hand, Luke Johnson of Nola.com reports.
Impact Kamara still played three-fourths or more of the offensive snaps in non-blowout situations the past few weeks, with the only indication of a problem being his limited participation in practices. He signed a two-year extension with the Saints on Tuesday and thus seems unlikely to be traded even though he's a 29-year-old RB on a team that's lost five straight games.
