Analysis

While he had trouble breaking a big gain on the ground, Kamara led the Saints in receptions and targets on the day and reached 100 scrimmage yards for the third straight contest and the seventh time this season in 10 games. Over that three-game stretch, Kamara has churned out 277 rushing yards and 169 receiving yards, but he hasn't gotten into the end zone since Week 6. He'll look to end that scoring drought in Week 11 against the Browns.

Analysis

With Jamaal Williams (inactive, groin) and Kendre Miller (IR, hamstring) unavailable, Kamara logged his heaviest workload of the season and made excellent use of the opportunity against a highly vulnerable defense. The versatile veteran was the Saints' leader in both rushing and receiving yards, with the former total a season high and latter tally partly the byproduct of Chris Olave exiting the game in the first quarter due to a concussion. Kamara now has at least five receptions in six consecutive games heading into a Week 10 home divisional matchup against the Falcons.

Analysis

Kamara operated with a cap on his reps all week as he continues to tend to fractured ribs and a broken hand, but the health concerns won't stop him from being cleared ahead of a fifth consecutive contest. He's averaging 20.1 touches per game and could take on even more work in the absence of backup RB Kendre Miller (out, hamstring) and potential absence of Jamaal Williams (doubtful, groin) against a Carolina defense that has allowed the most touchdowns (15) to RBs this season.

Analysis

Kamara continues to be plagued by the fractured ribs he suffered Week 3 and a broken hand that he picked up Week 5. Still, he's remained the most reliable skill-position player for the Saints along the way, averaging 20.1 touches for 101.5 yards from scrimmage per game while scoring seven total TDs in eight contests. Friday's injury report will reveal whether Kamara goes into the weekend without a designation for a fifth week in a row.

Analysis

Kamara has been tending to fractured ribs since Week 3 and a broken right hand Week 5, which have regularly resulted in a cap on his practice reps in the meantime. In six games during that span, he's racked up 522 yards from scrimmage and two rushing touchdowns on 119 touches, but he's averaged only 3.6 yards per carry and 6.5 yards per catch. Kamara has a pair of sessions remaining this week to get back to full participation, or else he could enter the weekend with a designation for Sunday's visit to the Panthers.

Analysis

Kamara added a spark to the listless Saints offense Week 8. The 29-year-old is still working his way back after dealing with a broken hand suffered Week 5 and broken ribs suffered Week 3, but neither appeared to affect him as he logged three explosive plays Sunday. This included a team-long 37-yard reception on a screen pass and a 24-yard carry on which he fought through multiple defenders. Kamara still logged his second-fewest carries of any game this season, and he's now averaged 10.3 rushing attempts and 8.5 targets per game over the last four weeks. While his workload has taken a slight dip recently, Kamara should still play a significant role during next week's game versus the Panthers on Sunday, Nov. 3.

Analysis

Kamara was a limited participant in each of the Saints' three practices this week while he managed a pair of injuries, but neither the broken right hand suffered back in Week 5 nor the broken ribs he suffered Week 3 will keep him from playing in Los Angeles. For the third straight week, Kamara will be joined in the backfield by quarterback Spencer Rattler rather than Derek Carr (oblique), who is listed as doubtful and is unlikely to play. In Rattler's first two starts under center, Kamara's efficiency has taken a big hit, with the running back carrying 20 times for 50 yards (2.5 average) and a touchdown to go with 11 catches for 38 yards (3.5 average) on 15 targets between losses to the Buccaneers and Broncos. In addition to the shaky quarterback play, Kamara's red-zone opportunities could take a hit due to Taysom Hill (rib) set to return from a three-game absence to present the Saints with another option in short-yardage situations.

Analysis

Kamara continues to be plagued by a broken hand and rib fractures, which has resulted in back-to-back capped sessions to begin Week 8 prep. He'll thus have Friday's practice to get back to full participation or otherwise head into the weekend with a likely injury designation for Sunday's contest at the Chargers. Assuming he's able to suit up, per usual, Kamara should be good for near his usual 20.7 touches per game on the season.

Analysis

Earlier Wednesday, Kamara told Matthew Paras of The New Orleans Times-Picayune that he's been playing through a broken hand the last two games, and he's still dealing with the broken ribs that he suffered Week 3 against the Eagles. In four outings since then, he's racked up 74 touches for 273 yards from scrimmage and two rushing scores, showing that he's capable of producing even at less than 100 percent health. Kamara will have two more chances to get back to full participation this week or else possibly risk heading into Sunday's contest at the Chargers with a designation.
