The Saints' ground game was completely shut down, as quarterback Tyler Shough led the team with a mere seven rushing yards, but Kamara still contributed through the air and led New Orleans in catches while tying Barion Brown for the game high in receiving yards. Since missing the season opener, Kamara has put together 258 scrimmage yards and three total TDs (two rushing, one receiving) over six games, but the backfield could get more crowded after a Week 8 bye if Travis Etienne (hamstring) is cleared to return.

Kamara did not get a full practice in all week, but it appears that was simply for management purposes, as he will not head into Week 7 with any sort of injury tag. He shared the backfield duties with Kendre Miller and CJ Donaldson each of the last three weeks, and with Travis Etienne (hamstring) spending at least one more game on injured reserve, he figures to do the same Sunday in Paris.

Kamara now has logged back-to-back capped practices to begin Week 7 prep as he deals with a back concern for a third consecutive week. He's been able to play through it, but his snap shares in Week 5 (27 percent) and Week 6 (26 percent) didn't equate to much work (14 touches for 75 yards from scrimmage and one receiving TD). Friday's injury report will unveil whether or not Kamara enters the weekend with a designation for Sunday's contest versus the Steelers in Paris.

This now marks three weeks in a row in which Kamara has had practice restrictions due to a back issue, but he's been able to play through it the last two games, accounting for 75 yards from scrimmage and one receiving TD on 14 touches during that stretch. The Saints may limit his on-field work Thursday and/or Friday, but there's been no indication he's in danger of missing Sunday's contest against the Steelers in Paris.

The veteran RB left the game in the first half due to an undisclosed injury, but he was cleared to return and connected with Tyler Shough for a 31-yard score in the third quarter. Kamara's seven touches were well behind Kendre Miller's 22, but his 69 scrimmage yards were just one shy of Miller's 70 for the team lead. The duo will split backfield duties for at least one more game in Week 7 against the Steelers, before Travis Etienne (hamstring) will be eligible to come off IR after a Week 8 bye.

Kamara missed some time in the first half after attempting to haul in a pass from QB Tyler Shough down the left sideline, but his return indicates he'll attempt to gut through whatever is affecting him. Having said that, the Saints are continuing to employ a timeshare between Kamara, Kendre Miller and CJ Donaldson out of the backfield, so Kamara's current outlook isn't exactly fantasy friendly.

While attempting to catch a somewhat errant pass down the left sideline, Kamara landed awkwardly and appeared to be shaken up. The current health concern isn't known, but he has been dealing with a back injury the last two weeks, so it may be an aggravation of that issue. Kendre Miller and CJ Donaldson are the Saints' current healthy and available running backs.

Kamara has dealt with a back injury the past two weeks, and three limited listings during Week 6 prep led to a questionable designation for Sunday. On Sunday morning, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported that Kamara is expected to play, which now has been confirmed. Since Travis Etienne (hamstring) landed on IR after Week 3, Kamara has earned 17 touches, while fellow RBs Kendre Miller (18) and CJ Donaldson (10) also have had regular roles, making it difficult to trust any of the trio for fantasy purposes.

For a second week in a row, Kamara's practice reps were impacted by a back issue, resulting in limited listings on all three Week 6 injury reports and a questionable designation for Sunday's matchup. His status will be clarified about 90 minutes before a 1 p.m. ET kickoff, but if he's active, Kamara will be part of a timeshare out of the Saints backfield with Kendre Miller and CJ Donaldson.

Kamara was limited at practice all week, but he did get some work in each day from Wednesday through Friday and will have a chance to suit up for Week 6. If Kamara does suit up Sunday he figures to split the backfield work in some fashion with Kendre Miller and CJ Donaldson.

With back-to-back capped sessions under his belt this week due to a lingering back injury, Kamara has one more chance to get back to full Friday, at which point the Saints may tag him with a designation ahead of Sunday's game at the Giants. Even if he's able to suit up this weekend, though, he's been in a tight timeshare with Kendre Miller and CJ Donaldson the last two games, turning his 17 touches into 64 yards from scrimmage and two rushing TDs.

For a second straight week, Kamara is dealing with a back injury, but he was able to play through it this past Sunday against the Vikings, earning a 27 percent snap share and turning five touches into six yards from scrimmage. As for the rest of the backfield, Kendre Miller had a 31 percent offensive snap share and 10 touches, while CJ Donaldson paced the group with 42 percent and logged five touches. None of the trio has stood out since Travis Etienne (hamstring) was placed on IR after Week 3, and Kamara's continued health concerns make him even less reliable for fantasy purposes on top of the current timeshare at the position.

Kamara dealt with a back issue during the practice week, and it's possible that helped lead to Kendre Miller outpacing the veteran back by seven carries. Kamara's minimal opportunity unsurprisingly led to a forgettable fantasy day overall, although the entire Saints offense was underwhelming against the vaunted Vikings defense. Given Sunday's division of labor, Kamara could continue losing some touches to Miller while Travis Etienne (hamstring, IR) remains on injured reserve for a Week 6 road matchup against the Giants next Sunday.

Kamara opened Week 5 prep as a non-participant at Wednesday's walkthrough due to a back injury, but he was able to log back-to-back limited practices to end the week and enter the weekend listed as questionable. Ian Rapoport of NFL Network then reported Sunday morning that Kamara was expected to play, which now has been confirmed. Kamara thus should serve as the Saints' lead runner this weekend, a role which so far has amounted to 36 touches for 121 yards from scrimmage and two rushing TDs in three appearances.

Kamara sat out Week 1 due to a sprained MCL and then proceeded to suit up the last three games before a back issue threatened his availability for Week 5. He followed up a DNP at Wednesday's walkthrough with limited sessions Thursday and Friday before heading into the weekend listed as questionable. Kamara's status will be clarified about 90 minutes before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff, and if he's active as anticipated, he'll continue to take on a modest workload out of the Saints backfield, which so far has equated to 36 touches for 121 yards from scrimmage and two rushing TDs this season.

Kamara exited last Monday night's game briefly with a knee injury, and he then popped up on this week's injury report with a back issue, getting in limited practices Thursday and Friday. The veteran doesn't need to practice much in order to play, but if Kamara isn't cleared for Sunday, Kendre Miller and CJ Donaldson would be next in line for backfield snaps for New Orleans, as Travis Etienne (hamstring) remains on injured reserve for at least three more weeks.

Kamara was held out of Wednesday's walkthrough due to a back injury, but his upgrade in activity one day later is a decent sign that he's trending in the right direction for Sunday's game against the Vikings. Friday's practice report will unveil whether or not he enters the weekend with a designation.

The veteran was not at practice Wednesday after picking up a back injury during the Monday Night Football loss to the Falcons. Kamara has a couple more days to get back on the practice field before his status for Week 5 comes into question, but the back issue will be one to monitor. With Travis Etienne (hamstring) already out, Kendre Miller or CJ Donaldson may be more involved if Kamara is unable to go Sunday against the Vikings.

With Travis Etienne (hamstring, IR) missing his first game of the season, Kamara was back in the familiar lead role he'd filled with great success previously. While Kamara's rushing opportunities ultimately were limited significantly by game script, the veteran back maximized his time on the field by scoring from three and five yards out in the second and fourth quarters, respectively. Kamara could have more of an opportunity for a normal rushing workload -- albeit in a tough matchup -- in a Week 5 home game against the Vikings on Sunday.

Kamara appeared to hurt his knee in the third quarter and headed to the medical tent. The veteran running back exited the tent, tested out his knee on the sideline, then briefly returned to the tent, but he was able to re-enter the contest before the end of the period. Kamara is serving as New Orleans' lead running back in the absence of Travis Etienne (ankle) and scored his first touchdown of the campaign earlier in Monday's contest.

Etienne aggravated a hamstring injury during the Saints' Week 3 loss to the Raiders, and the injury is severe enough for him to require a stint on IR. In Etienne's absence, the veteran Kamara figures to take on RB1 duties for New Orleans, a role he carried through the first nine years of his 10-year NFL career. Kendre Miller will see an uptick in backfield snaps behind Kamara, with CJ Donaldson and practice squad members Zamir White and Ulysses Bentley also in the mix for work on offense for as long as Etienne is on the shelf.

The veteran RB once again took a back seat to Travis Etienne to begin the game, but that changed after the former Jaguar aggravated a hamstring strain and left the game in the third quarter. Over the Saints' last five possessions, Kamara split the workload in the backfield with Kendre Miller, getting six touches to Miller's five. The severity of Etienne's injury isn't yet clear, but if he misses significant time, Kamara and Miller would likely continue working in tandem, with rookie CJ Donaldson also potentially mixing in as a short-yardage option.
