Alvin Kamara injury: status and who’s next up
Latest report: Week 8
Alvin Kamara is not listed on the latest weekly injury report. He last carried a game designation in Week 6 (questionable, back).
Being absent from a report is not confirmation that a player is healthy; teams report only what league rules require.
Who is next up if Alvin Kamara misses time?

Kendre Miller is listed RB2 on the New Orleans Saints depth chart behind Alvin Kamara. Deterministic pick; the model overview was unavailable.
