Is Alvin Kamara playing today? Injury updates for Saints RB

The New Orleans Saints head to Green Bay for a Monday Night Football game against the Packers. The task will be difficult enough with a dome team playing on the Frozen Tundra. Compounding the test, QB Derek Carr will be unavailable.

That news only added a heightened focus on running back Alvin Kamara’s current status.

Here’s the latest for the Saints RB.

Alvin Kamara injury updates

Kamara is out due to a groin injury. He has not practiced this week.

How long will Kamara be out?

Kamara’s groin injury is tricky, and according to a report from NBC, it has head coach Darren Rizzi less than confident in terms of a timeframe for a return.

“The situation with Alvin right now, it was probably a little more significant than we initially thought. He’s week-to-week at the moment. I’m going to be honest, it doesn’t look great for this week,” Rizzi said. “We’ll see if it’s going to be multiple weeks. He doesn’t look great for this week.”

It’s an unfortunate roadblock for Kamara, one that actually puts a career milestone at risk this season.

Jamaal Williams, Kendre Miller and Jordan Mims are listed behind Kamara.
