Alvin Kamara sits out practice Friday, will miss second straight game

By Victor Barbosa | Last updated 11/19/21

New Orleans Saints Pro Bowl running back Alvin Kamara missed his first game of the season in Week 10. Thing looked promising when the 26-year-old returned to practice earlier this week ahead of Sunday's Week 11 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles, but on Friday, Kamara missed his second straight practice with a knee injury, putting his status in doubt.

NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reported Friday that Kamara was one of three Saints officially out for Sunday's game.

Kamara has collected 530 rushing yards and three touchdowns on 146 carries this season, while adding 310 receiving yards and four touchdowns on 32 receptions as well.

With Kamara out, the bulk of the workload would likely go to 11th-year back Mark Ingram for the second straight week. Kamara's backup was reacquired by the Saints in a trade with the Houston Texans on Oct. 29.

Ingram has run for 411 yards and two touchdowns on 121 carries this season and has added 18 receptions for 131 yards as well. In the Saints' Week 10 loss to the Tennessee Titans, Ingram recorded 14 carries for 47 yards and one score, while contributing four receptions and a season-high 61 receiving yards on a season-high seven targets.
