Kamara (ankle) practiced in a limited fashion Thursday, Luke Johnson of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Coach Kellen Moore described Kamara's absence from Wednesday's session as a maintenance plan as Kamara deals with the ankle injury that he sustained Week 5 against the Giants, according to Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com. Now that he's mixed back into some drills, Kamara is trending in the right direction, but it remains to be seen if he'll be able to avoid a designation ahead of Sunday's game at Chicago.

Kamara (ankle) is present for the early portion of Thursday's practice open to the media, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kamara missed practice Wednesday due to an ankle injury, the same issue that he played through in Week 6 after having logged three consecutive limited practice sessions. Coach Kellen Moore has stated that the veteran running back will be on a maintenance plan to manage the injury. To see Kamara back on the field Thursday, even if he only logs limited reps, bodes well for his chances of taking the field for Sunday's road matchup against the Bears, but he'll likely carry an injury designation into the weekend unless he's able to resume practicing in full.

Kamara (ankle) didn't practice Wednesday, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kamara was limited in practice all of last week due to an ankle issue but still suited up this past Sunday against the Patriots, handling 62 percent of the snaps and turning 15 touches into 76 yards from scrimmage in that contest. Coach Kellen Moore told Terrell that Kamara will be on a maintenance plan for the injury for the time being, and the fact that the running back was a DNP to begin Week 7 prep doesn't mean the concern got worse, as Moore relayed to Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football. Ultimately, Kamara may need to practice fully by Friday in order to enter the weekend without a designation for Sunday's game in Chicago.

Kamara carried the ball 10 times for 31 yards and caught all five of his targets for 45 yards in Sunday's 25-19 loss to the Patriots.

EDGE Analysis

After dealing with an ankle injury during the week in practice, Kamara didn't seem particularly bothered by the issue as he saw at least 15 touches for the fourth time in the last five games and produced 70-plus scrimmage yards for the third time in that span. Kamara has 314 rushing yards and a 22-122-0 receiving line on 26 targets through six contests, but a Week 1 rushing TD has been his only trip to the end zone so far. He'll look to end his scoring drought in Week 7 against the Bears.

Kamara (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Patriots.

EDGE Analysis

A limited participant in practice throughout the week due to the ankle injury, Kamara took a questionable tag into the weekend but never seemed at major risk of missing Sunday's contest. Now that he's confirmed as available for the Week 6 contest, Kamara should continue in his usual role as the Saints' lead option out of the backfield. Though Kamara's name has popped up in trade rumors as the 1-4 Saints navigate what looks to be a rebuilding season, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported Saturday that the 30-year-old back told general manager Mickey Loomis that he would like to remain with the franchise for the duration of his career. The Saints are expected to honor Kamara's request and hold on to him ahead of the Nov. 4 trade deadline, even though multiple contending teams would likely be in the market for his services.

Kamara (ankle), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Patriots, is expected to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kamara told Matthew Paras of The New Orleans Times-Picayune that he injured his ankle last Sunday versus the Giants, which left him limited in practice Wednesday through Friday and questionable for Week 6 action. Ultimately, Kamara's status for Sunday's contest will be confirmed about 90 minutes before a 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff, but even if he's active, there's a chance he cedes some snaps to his primary backup Kendre Miller.

Kamara (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against New England, Ross Jackson of WWL Louisiana reports.

EDGE Analysis

Early reports suggested Kamara hurt his ankle during Wednesday's practice, but he clarified Thursday that the injury initially occurred during a win over the Giants on Sunday. That may also explain why Kendre Miller took on so much of the rushing workload, especially late in the game. This week, Kamara was a limited practice participant Wednesday through Friday, with Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football suggesting that the veteran RB is on track to play. There is some risk that Kamara's workload looks more like Week 5 than Weeks 1-4, but he'll presumably still start if he's declared active ahead of the 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.

EDGE Analysis

Initial reports indicated Kamara hurt his ankle at Wednesday's practice, but he clarified Thursday that he's "feeling good" and actually suffered the injury this past Sunday against the Giants, per Matthew Paras of The New Orleans Times-Picayune. In the Week 5 win, Kamara logged season lows in offensive snap share (56 percent) and touches (12) on his way to just 55 yards from scrimmage. Ultimately, Friday's practice report will unveil whether or not he enters the weekend with a designation for Sunday's game versus the Patriots.

Kamara (ankle) was present at practice Thursday, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Saints had a scare at Wednesday's session when Kamara injured his ankle and went down as a limited participant. It's unclear if he maintained that activity level or upgraded to full, but Thursday's practice report will reveal that info. Kendre Miller is on hand in the event Kamara is at all inhibited Sunday against the Patriots.

Coach Kellen Moore said Kamara hurt his ankle in practice Wednesday, Matthew Paras of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Per Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football, Kamara officially was limited Wednesday, and Moore added that it's a "little something." Kamara's status thus bears watching as the week goes on to get a sense of his odds to suit up Sunday against the Patriots. If Kamara is inhibited or sidelined this weekend, Kendre Miller would take on an expanded role in the Saints offense.
