Alvin Kamara reportedly out at least 1 month because of sprained MCL, latest Saints playmaker sidelined

New Orleans brought back Kamara this offseason for what is his 10th year in the NFL.

The New Orleans Saints have faced another setback to their offensive capabilities, as reported by ESPN’s Adam Schefter. Rookie wide receiver Jordyn Tyson is expected to miss approximately two months due to a right hamstring injury sustained during training camp. However, another significant injury has now landed five-time Pro Bowl running back Alvin Kamara out for at least one month.

Kamara, 31, will be sidelined with a sprained MCL, and this injury could force him to miss the opening game of the regular season. This is a blow for the aging Kamara, who has experienced multiple injuries in recent years. Kamara and the Saints reached a contract restructuring agreement this offseason, which kept him with the team.

He will play his 10th season in the NFL, signed to a $6 million base salary with the potential to earn up to $8.5 million in incentives.
