• Saints' Mark Ingram: Moved to IR, ending season

  12/14/2022 • By RotoWire

  The Saints placed Ingram (knee) on injured reserve Wednesday, Field Yates of ESPN reports. Ingram suffered an MCL tear in a Week 13 loss to Tampa Bay, likely leaving him with a recovery and rehab timeline of 4-to-6 weeks. He's now officially ruled out for the remainder of the regular season, and he might not be ready for the start of the playoffs even in the highly unlikely scenario that the Saints earn a spot. New Orleans is left with Eno Benjamin, David Johnson and Dwayne Washington as its depth options behind top running back Alvin Kamara.

• Saints' Mark Ingram: Out at least four weeks

  Ingram (knee) suffered an MCL tear during Monday's loss to the Buccaneers and is expected to miss 4-to-6 weeks, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. Ingram could be done for the rest of the season, with the Saints only having four more regular-season contests after their Week 14 bye. The best candidate to replace the veteran running back as the No. 2 option behind Alvin Kamara may be Dwayne Washington, though the team also has David Johnson and Derrick Gore on the practice squad.

• Saints' Mark Ingram: Inefficient in defeat

  12/06/2022 • By RotoWire

  Ingram totaled seven rushes for 27 yards and caught all five targets for 22 yards during Monday's 17-16 loss versus the Buccaneers. Ingram totaled double-digit touches for the first time since Week 4, as he struck a balanced workload with No. 1 running back Alvin Kamara (12 carries, two receptions). However, both running backs failed to produce any explosive runs against Tampa Bay's defense. Ingram also went down on the field after being tackled near the sideline early in the second half, which caused him to be evaluated in the Saints' medical tent, according to John Hendrix of SI.com. While he managed to return, New Orleans coach Dennis Allen said that the veteran back injured his knee when he went out of bounds one yard shy of picking up a first down later in the fourth quarter, per Jacques Doucet of WAFB 9Sports. The 32-year-old Ingram will have extra time to recover during the Saints' Week 14 bye.

• Saints' Mark Ingram: Logs full practice

  Ingram (foot) was a full practice participant Friday. Ingram is set to handle his familiar role as Alvin Kamara's backup for a second straight week, after missing three games with an MCL sprain. He got four carries for 10 yards in his first game back, while Kamara had 13 touches and Taysom Hill took seven. Kamara did lose two fumbles in the game, and it's possible Ingram gets more work if the ball-security issues continue Monday night in Tampa Bay.

  Ingram (foot) was limited at practice Thursday. Ingram put an end to a three-game absence this past Sunday in San Francisco after tending to an MCL sprain, playing 30 percent of snaps on his way to four carries for 10 yards and no catches on his only target. Meanwhile, Alvin Kamara (13 touches) and tight end Taysom Hill (seven touches) got more work than Ingram out of the backfield. Ingram has exchanged the knee injury for a foot issue this week, so his status will be one to watch as the Saints continue to prep for Monday's visit to Tampa Bay.
