An early scoring deficit made the Saints call an audible on which running back to lean on in Week 16. What’s the plan moving forward?

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).

The New Orleans Saints head to Green Bay for a Monday Night Football game against the Packers. The task will be difficult enough with a dome team playing on the Frozen Tundra. Compounding the test, QB Derek Carr will be unavailable.

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.

The New Orleans Saints are planning to use ‘a committee approach’ with Alvin Kamara on the mend, but expect a lot of Kendre Miller:

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.

The Saints could be down another top playmaker when they come to Lambeau Field to play the Packers on Monday Night Football. Alvin Kamara is likely out with a groin injury.
