New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara has been ruled out for the upcoming game against the Las Vegas Raiders due to a groin injury. Despite not practicing all week, interim head coach Darren Rizzi remains optimistic about Kamara's potential return for Week 18, as he is just 50 rushing yards shy of his first 1,000-yard season. In Kamara's absence, the Saints will rely on Kendre Miller, Jordan Mims, and Jamaal Williams to carry the load this weekend, with Miller being a potential RB3 or Flex option after a disappointing performance last week.
- Alvin Kamara's absence opens up opportunities for other RBs.
- Kendre Miller may bounce back against a favorable matchup.
