Saints’ Kamara returns to practice while Jordan is ruled out for Sunday’s opener at Detroit

Saints running back Alvin Kamara returned to practice on Wednesday, marking his first return since injuring his knee during practice on Aug. 18. However, coach Kellen Moore ruled out veteran defensive end Cameron Jordan for Sunday's opener against Detroit. Kamara's presence in practice has raised the prospect of him returning soon, though his chances for the weekend game remain unclear.

The Saints have also made a significant move by signing former Jacksonville Jaguars running back Travis Etienne to a four-year, $48 million contract, designating him as the starter.
