Saints list Alvin Kamara and Travis Etienne as co-starters on depth chart

The New Orleans Saints released an unofficial depth chart ahead of their September 13 regular season opener against the Detroit Lions at Ford Field. The document lists Travis Etienne Jr. and Alvin Kamara as co-running backs, providing no clarity on which player will receive the primary workload. Kamara enters the week recovering from an MCL sprain suffered during an August practice with the Dallas Cowboys. While Etienne recorded 1,107 rushing yards and 13 total touchdowns in 2025, Kamara is coming off an injury-plagued season with career lows in yardage. Head coach Kellen Moore has previously indicated an intent to use multiple running backs throughout the season. The team will provide further clarity on the active roster and potential starter usage when they publish the official Week 1 injury report before Sunday.
