Darren Rizzi told reporters the New Orleans Saints would take a committee approach to replacing Alvin Kamara. Rizzi laid out the plan was to use Kendre Miller, Jordan Mims and Jamaal Williams in the backfield.

METAIRIE, La. (AP) — Alvin Kamara’s groin injury is “a little bit more significant” than the Saints initially thought, but it remains unclear how many of New Orleans’ final three games he’ll miss, coach Darren Rizzi said Thursday.

Saints coach Darren Rizzi told reporters Monday that Kamara was dealing with a "groin adductor" type of injury, per ESPN's Katherine Terrell. Rizzi declined to elaborate on whether the injury was minor and told reporters more testing would be done on the running back.

New Orleans Saints star running back Alvin Kamara's availability status will remain unclear due to a groin injury he sustained on Sunday.

Alvin Kamara did not practice with the rest of his New Orleans Saints teammates Thursday afternoon. The star running back exited last week’s loss to the Washington Commanders in the fourth quarter with a groin injury. Earlier this week, interim coach Darren Rizzi suggested Kamara’s injury was not serious.

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara missed the team’s Week 16 contest against the Green Bay Packers on Monday Night Football. Let’s examine what happened to Kamara and whether he’ll suit up for New Orleans in Week 17 against the Las Vegas Raiders (or at any point this season).

Four Saints did not practice on Thursday, and two of them sound like they'll be done for the rest of the season.
