Kamara (ankle), who is questionable for Sunday's Week 9 matchup against the Rams, is expected to play, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kamara again dealt with an ankle injury throughout the week and logged a trio of limited practices. Saints coach Kellen Moore said Friday that the star running back was trending in the right direction, and it now appears likely that Kamara will suit up. However, he logged a season-low 51 percent snap share last Sunday while managing the same nagging ankle issue, so it remains to be seen if he'll have a full workload even if he does play.

EDGE Analysis

Moore said the same of WR Rashid Shaheed (hip) and CB Alontae Taylor (shoulder), with all three getting 'questionable' designations after limited practice participation this week. Any setbacks for Kamara would lead to more work for Devin Neal, who is alo listed with an ankle injury but seemingly on track to play.

Kamara (ankle) was limited in practice Thursday, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kamara has played through the ankle issue the last two games, combining for 17 carries for 49 yards, five catches (on five targets) for 25 yards and no touchdowns. He avoided an injury designation in advance of both contests, so Friday's injury report may clear him for action yet again. Assuming he's available Sunday at the Rams, Kamara will be working with rookie QB Tyler Shough, who is taking over for Spencer Rattler moving forward.

EDGE Analysis

The same can be said for the only other RB on the Saints' active roster, Devin Neal, who also is tending to an ankle injury. On a positive note, both players were able to log some on-field work Wednesday and have two more chances to get back to full before the team potentially tags them with designations ahead of Sunday's game at the Rams. Kamara managed 45 yards from scrimmage on a season-low eight touches this past Sunday against the Buccaneers, while Neal didn't earn a carry and hauled in all three targets for 11 yards.

Kamara gained 21 yards on six carries and caught both of his targets for 24 yards in Sunday's 23-3 loss to Tampa Bay.

EDGE Analysis

With Kendre Miller (knee) being placed on injured reserve this week, Kamara finished Sunday's contest as the only Saints RB to record a carry. However, that did not lead to a fruitful fantasy day after New Orleans abandoned the run early, passing 51 times compared to 15 rush attempts in the one-sided loss. Kamara's lack of involvement in the passing game has been concerning through eight weeks, as he is currently on pace to finish with a career-worst 306 receiving yards. Starting QB Spencer Rattler was benched in the second half of Sunday's loss, so a potential change under center could help unlock Kamara as a receiver against the Rams in Week 9.

Kamara (ankle) won't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against Tampa Bay, Matthew Paras of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kamara played through the same injury the past two weeks, including taking on a season-high 84 percent share when Kendre Miller suffered an ACL tear in the loss at Chicago last Sunday. Devin Neal could get more work with time to prepare for the No. 2 role, but it's also possible Kamara is tasked with some of the snaps and touches that went to Miller in recent weeks.

Kamara (ankle) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

EDGE Analysis

The Saints are managing Kamara's practice reps for the third week in a row while he tends to a lingering ankle issue, but the injury isn't expected to prevent him from playing Sunday versus the Buccaneers. After top backup Kendre Miller (knee) sustained a season-ending ACL tear in last week's loss to the Bears, Kamara ended up handling a season-high 84 percent snap share, though he was limited to 28 yards on 11 carries and one yard on three receptions. Rookie Devin Neal is expected to replace Miller in the No. 2 role this weekend and may not represent as formidable of competition as Miller, but Kamara's efficiency could be a regular concern all season due to subpar quarterback play as well as a below-average offensive line that recently lost standout center Erik McCoy to a season-ending biceps injury.

Kamara (ankle) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, Luke Johnson of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's an improvement from last week when Kamara also was listed with an ankle injury and started off as a non-participant. He ended up being cleared to play on the Friday injury report and went on to handle a season-high 84 percent snap share when fellow running back Kendre Miller suffered an ACL tear in the first half. It is possible rookie Devin Neal will have more of a role this Sunday against Tampa Bay with more time to prepare for the No. 2 RB job.

Kamara rushed 11 times for 28 yards and brought in all three targets for one yard in the Saints' 26-14 loss to the Bears on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Kamara was stymied on the ground by a Bears defense that had been vulnerable against the run, and he uncharacteristically did next to nothing with his three catches. The versatile veteran has been held to 31 rushing yards or fewer in three straight games and hasn't recorded a rushing touchdown since Week 1, leaving his fantasy outlook bleak as a Week 8 home matchup against a tough Buccaneers run defense awaits next Sunday afternoon.

Kamara (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at Chicago, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kamara even progressed to full practice participation Friday, setting him up for this usual workload come Sunday, although Kendre Miller has gotten more involved in recent weeks for reasons seemingly unrelated to Kamara's health. The 30-year-old RB took 62 percent of snaps in last week's loss to New England, with 15 touches for 76 total yards.
