Alvin Kamara will miss weeks with knee injury suffered in practice

Alvin Kamara will be sidelined for several weeks due to a knee injury sustained during a joint practice with the Dallas Cowboys. Reports indicate that the running back avoided a significant tear but will not participate in the remainder of preseason. The Saints, looking to rebound from Kamara's underwhelming 2025 season, will rely more on newcomer Travis Etienne to fill the gap in the backfield. Kamara’s ability to return early in the regular season remains uncertain, requiring the team to adapt their strategy without their star player.
