Saints' Alvin Kamara: Another limited session
Kamara (back) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday.
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.

Saints' Alvin Kamara: Remains limited by back issue
Kamara (back) was a limited practice participant Wednesday.
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 31 percent 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.

Saints' Alvin Kamara: Limited to five touches Sunday
Kamara rushed three times for 12 yards and brought in both targets for minus-6 yards in the Saints' 23-13 loss to the Vikings on Sunday.
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.

Saints' Alvin Kamara: Active Sunday
Kamara (back) is listed as active Sunday against the Vikings.
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, which so far has amounted to 36 touches for 121 yards from scrimmage and two rushing TDs in three appearances.

Saints' Alvin Kamara: Slated to to suit up Sunday
Kamara (back) is expected to play in Sunday's contest against the Vikings, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
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.

Saints' Alvin Kamara: Questionable for Week 5
Kamara (back) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Vikings, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.
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. The veteran doesn't need to practice much in order to play, but if he's not 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.

Saints' Alvin Kamara: Limited in return to practice
Kamara (back) practiced in a limited fashion Thursday.
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.

Saints' Alvin Kamara: Tending to back issue
Kamara (back) did not participate in Wednesday's walkthrough, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.
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.

Saints' Alvin Kamara: Two rush TDs in return to lead role
Kamara rushed seven times for 23 yards and two touchdowns and brought in five of seven targets for 35 yards in the Saints' 45-24 loss to the Falcons on Monday night.
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 were ultimately 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 matchup against the Vikings on Sunday.

Saints' Alvin Kamara: Exits briefly but returns to Monday's game
Kamara temporarily exited Monday's game against the Falcons due to a knee issue but has since returned.
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.

Saints' Alvin Kamara: Taking on larger role sans Etienne
Kamara figures to serve as the Saints' top running back for as long as Travis Etienne (hamstring) is on injured reserve, starting with Monday's game against the Falcons, John DeShazler of the Saints' official site reports.
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 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.
