Alvin Kamara, the New Orleans Saints' star running back, missed practice on Wednesday due to rib and hip pointer injuries. These injuries may stem from his heavy workload in the previous game against the Eagles, where he rushed 26 times for 87 yards and caught three passes for 40 yards. With Kamara's status uncertain for the upcoming game against the Falcons, the Saints may rely on Jamaal Williams and Jordan Mims in the backfield. Additionally, Kamara's contract situation remains a topic of discussion as he has two years left on his deal but could be a cut candidate after the season.
- Kamara's injuries could impact his availability for the upcoming game.
- The Saints will need to adjust their offensive strategy if Kamara cannot play.
