Alvin Kamara Playing This Week? Saints Injury News Impacts RB Depth Chart for W5

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara’s availability for Week 5 is in question after he was hurt in Week 4 against the Atlanta Falcons on Monday Night Football. The Saints are already without their top back, Travis Etienne, who is on injured reserve following a free-agent move from the Jacksonville Jaguars. Kamara was officially listed as questionable for Sunday afternoon in New Orleans against the Minnesota Vikings, and while he exited the game with a knee injury, the injury report this week attributes his limitations to a back issue. He practiced on Thursday and Friday but in limited fashion. With the Saints sitting at 1-3, his return could stabilize a depleted depth chart that would otherwise lean on Kendre Miller, with CJ Donaldson potentially expanding his role.
