Alvin Kamara of the New Orleans Saints is currently dealing with a groin injury that has kept him out of practice. Despite the setback, interim coach Darren Rizzi has indicated that Kamara is in good spirits and is pushing to return before the end of the season. With the Saints eliminated from playoff contention, Kamara's motivation to play may be tied to achieving his first 1,000-yard rushing season, needing just 50 more rushing yards to reach that milestone.

• Kamara has not practiced since sustaining a groin injury in Week 15.
• His motivation to return may be linked to achieving a personal milestone of 1,000 rushing yards.
