Alvin Kamara likely to return to Saints for 2026 season

Summary

Alvin Kamara is expected to be on the New Orleans Saints' 53-man roster for the upcoming 2026 season. The veteran running back attended voluntary practice for the first time in years and will participate in mandatory minicamp. This development comes amid discussions around a possible pay cut. With Kamara likely positioned as RB2 behind Travis Etienne Jr., there are five other running backs competing for two roster spots, including Kendre Miller, Devin Neal, and Audric Estime. The Saints previously carried four running backs throughout last season, and training camp will be crucial for determining the final roster.
