Saints running back Alvin Kamara appears unlikely to play on Monday night in Green Bay, and it’s unclear whether he will play again this season.
New Orleans interim head coach Darren Rizzi said today that the groin injury Kamara suffered on Sunday is significant, and the Saints don’t know when he’ll be back.
“The situation with Alvin right now, it was probably a little more significant than we initially thought. He’s week-to-week at the moment. I’m going to be honest, it doesn’t look great for this week,” Rizzi said. “We’ll see if it’s going to be multiple weeks. He doesn’t look great for this week.”
Realistically, the Saints could be mathematically eliminated from playoff contention this week, and if that happens it’s hard to believe they’d rush Kamara back from an injury. It’s possible that Kamara’s season is over.
