Kamara (knee/ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Falcons, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kamara hasn't practiced since suffering an MCL sprain in late November. He'll now miss a sixth straight game to close out the season, leaving Audric Estime in the lead role after New Orleans lost Kendre Miller (ACL) and Devin Neal (hamstring) to season-ending injuries. Kamara is under contract for one more season, but that doesn't necessarily mean he'll be back with the Saints in 2026, as only $3 million of his $11.5 million base salary is guaranteed. Kamara will turn 31 in July and has struggled to stay healthy in recent seasons, so he could be looking at a reduced role even if he sticks around in New Orleans.

Kamara (knee/ankle) did not practice Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Kamara appears on track to miss Sunday's regular-season finale against the Falcons, which would constitute his sixth straight missed contest. With Devin Neal (hamstring) having been placed on IR in Week 16, Audric Estime will be positioned to close out the 2025 campaign as New Orleans' backfield leader if Kamara indeed can't play Week 18.

Kamara (knee/ankle) did not participate in Wednesday's practice, Ross Jackson of WWL Louisiana reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kamara has missed five straight games due to a sprained MCL suffered Week 12 versus Atlanta, giving him only two more chances to practice before Sunday's regular-season finale rematch against the Falcons. Of course, with New Orleans already definitively eliminated from playoff contention, there's little incentive in pushing the 30-year-old veteran back on the field if he's anything less than 100 percent healthy. Audric Estime impressed as the leader of the Saints' backfield against the Titans in Week 17, rushing 14 times for 94 yards and one score.

Kamara (knee/ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game in Tennessee, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kamara thus will miss a fifth consecutive contest due to the sprained MCL that he suffered in Week 12 against the Falcons. His last chance to play again this season is a Week 18 visit to the Falcons, but the Saints have been out of the playoff picture for some time, so it'd be somewhat of a surprise if Kamara suits up for that contest.

Kamara (knee/ankle) is listed as a non-participant on Thursday's estimated injury report, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kamara remains sidelined due to the sprained MCL that he suffered Week 12 against the Falcons, and if the Saints ultimately rule him out for Sunday's contest at Tennessee, he'll have just one more chance to suit up this season Week 18 in Atlanta. With Devin Neal (hamstring) on injured reserve, all of Taysom Hill (12), Audric Estime (five), Evan Hull (five), Tyler Shough (two and Mason Tipton (one) handled carries this past Sunday versus the Jets.

Kamara (knee/ankle) was a non-participant at Wednesday's practice, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kamara hasn't played since he suffered a sprained MCL in Week 12 and now has just five possible practices left this season to put himself in a position to play again. Fellow RB Devin Neal (hamstring) was placed on injured reserve prior to Week 16 action, and the carry count this past Sunday against the Jets was split between Taysom Hill (12), Audric Estime (five), Evan Hull (five), Tyler Shough (two) and Mason Tipton (one). Kamara has two more chances to practice this week before the Saints potentially make a ruling on his status ahead of Sunday's contest in Tennessee.

Kamara (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Jets, Matthew Paras of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kamara hasn't practiced or played since suffering an MCL sprain Week 12, leaving Devin Neal in the lead role until he suffered a season-ending hamstring injury Week 15. The Saints are left with Audric Estime and Evan Hull as the favorites for backfield work Sunday against the Jets.

Kamara (knee/ankle) didn't take part in Thursday's practice.
EDGE Analysis
Kamara still hasn't resumed practicing since he sprained his MCL in Week 12, and while coach Kellen Moore hasn't ruled him out like he did fellow RB Devin Neal (hamstring) on Wednesday, the veteran back seems to be in danger of missing a fourth game in a row Sunday against the Jets. At the moment, Audric Estime and Evan Hull are the only healthy options at the position on the Saints' active roster.

Kamara (knee/ankle) was a non-participant in Wednesday's practice.
EDGE Analysis
Kamara has yet to practice since he sustained a sprained MCL in Week 12, but the fact that coach Kellen Moore already has ruled out fellow RB Devin Neal (hamstring) for Week 16 action, per Matthew Paras of The New Orleans Times-Picayune, would seem to indicate Kamara may be on the brink of a return to action. In order to do so, though, Kamara likely will need to mix into drills Thursday and/or Friday. Evan Hull and Audric Estime are the only healthy backfield options on the Saints' active roster at the moment.

Kamara (knee/ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Carolina.
EDGE Analysis
Devin Neal topped a 70 percent snap share in both of the past two weeks while filling in for Kamara. The rookie should get a similar workload this Sunday, with Audric Estime and Evan Hull in reserve.
