Alvin Kamara was at practice today. Rashid Shaheed was not.

Kamara could have a massive role in the offense this weekend if he's a full go, with rookie Spencer Rattler seeing his first NFL action. If he ends up missing, the team has already shown that they don't trust Miller, so Williams would presumably operate as the RB1.

Saints RB Kendre Miller is expected to begin the year on injured reserve, making the position a bit more of a concern entering the season.

Most of the RB duties are likely to fall on Kamara and Williams. The team also let go James Robinson, leaving Mims as the perhaps the team's RB3. It's possible the Saints will have to make another move at RB before the start of the season.

The Saints will have WR Chris Olave (ankle) tonight, and young RB Kendre Miller (ankle) is likely to play, as well.

Miller has been out since Week 9, and hadn't seen continuous usage since Week 5 (12-37-0), when Kamara was still serving his suspension. The rookie is a fairly decent stash in very deep leagues, should anything happen to Kamara.

Dennis Allen said RB Kendre Miller had some irritation in his shoulder pregame last week, Jamaal Williams was on a pitch count coming back… hopes to get them more involved going forward.

Miller played just three snaps and Williams had five carries against the Jags. Meanwhile, Kamara ran 17 times for 62 yards and also caught 12 more passes, giving him 29 touches for the game. While that's great for fantasy owners, the Saints would probably like to cut back the workload of Kamara just a bit, to make sure he stays healthy for the remainder of the season.

Saints starting RB Jamaal Williams, still on Injured Reserve with a hamstring injury, is expected to be activated and will play tonight vs. the Jaguars.

While the news shouldn't have you rushing to put Williams, fresh off IR, onto your squad, it does lower the ceiling of the rest of the Saints, as the former Lion is an adept goal-line presence. Once he gets his footing, he could be a fantasy option in positive matchups.

Running back Jamaal Williams is on his way back to the Saints lineup.

The NFL’s daily transaction report shows that Williams has been designated to return from injured reserve. Williams injured his hamstring in Week 2 and became eligible to return to the active roster after last Sunday’s loss to the Texans.

Williams can practice with the team for the next 21 days. He can be activated at any point in that window, so he could play against Jacksonville on Thursday night. If he’s not activated in the three-week span, he won’t be able to return this season. Williams ran 27 times for 74 yards and caught two passes for seven yards before his injury, the story all said. He'll likely form a 1-2 punch with Kamara once he's back, much like Mark Ingram from recent years.

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara made his season debut Sunday after serving a three-game suspension for his role in a 2022 fight in Las Vegas, and the offense leaned heavily on him in the 26-9 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Quarterback Derek Carr, who has been recovering from a shoulder injury, said on Sunday that he wished he could've utilized Kamara more.

Kamara caught 13 balls for 33 yards. Unfortunately, the 33 yards isn't a typo, and, according to the story, was the first time that a player had 13 or more catches and so few yards. The previous record was set by Buccaneers running back James Wilder, a name from Tecmo Bowl days, who had 13 receptions for 71 yards in 1985. The good news for Kamara owners is it looks like he could see a lot of work out of the backfield, especially with Williams on IR.

Saints running back Alvin Kamara can return from his three-game suspension and get to work with the team today.

Kamara was suspended for the first three games of the season after he pleaded no contest to breach of the peace in connection with a beating that left a man hospitalized. The timing is good for the Saints, whose offense is in a state of flux after quarterback Derek Carr suffered an injured throwing shoulder in Sunday’s loss to the Packers, the story said. With Williams on IR, Kamara could have an immediate impact with Miller and Jones the other backs.

The Saints placed RB Jamaal Williams on injured reserve Saturday.

Williams is now out a minimum of four games due to a hamstring injury. He’ll miss games against the Packers, Buccaneers, Patriots and Texans. Rookie Kendre Miller is expected to make his debut Sunday in Green Bay and the Saints will get Alvin Kamara back from suspension in Week 4.

Saints’ RB Jamaal Williams is expected to need “some time” to recover from his hamstring injury, per HC Dennis Allen.

It's another hit for the Saints backfield as Kamara is still suspended for two more games. But, the good news is Miller is expected to make his debut in Week 3. However, it could be an a messy situation until Kamara gets back and the team could opt to include Hill into the rushing attack like they did in Week 2. Jones carried 12 times for 34 yards but scored twice. Hill ran nine times for 75 yards.
