Report: Saints' Alvin Kamara 'bracing' for six-game suspension

In February, New Orleans Saints star running back Alvin Kamara was arrested for alleged battery in Las Vegas just hours after playing in the Pro Bowl. 

The five-time Pro Bowler is now anticipating punishment from the league. 

According to Pro Football Talk's Mike Florio, at some point, Kamara expects a six-game suspension from the NFL. 

"Per a league source, Saints running back Alvin Kamara is bracing for a suspension of at least six weeks," Florio wrote. "The only question is when the suspension will be imposed."

Kamara, 26, has been charged with felony battery resulting in substantial bodily harm. 

Florio added that Kamara's next hearing in the battery case is scheduled for Aug. 1. 

Kamara will enter his sixth season with the Saints this Fall. Last season, Kamara rushed for 898 yards and had 47 receptions for 439 yards and nine total touchdowns in 13 games.
