Alvin Kamara, running back for the New Orleans Saints, did not practice on Wednesday, October 7, due to a back issue. This absence comes as the Saints potentially prepare for their next matchup without both Kamara and Travis Etienne, who is already sidelined with a hamstring injury. If Kamara cannot play, the team may rely more heavily on Kendre Miller and CJ Donaldson in the backfield. The Saints will need to monitor Kamara's status closely leading up to their game.
