Another limited practice Kamara (ribs) practiced in a limited fashion Wednesday.
Impact Like he did last week prior to being inactive this past Sunday versus the Vikings in London, Kamara had a cap on his practice reps. He'll have opportunities to bump up to all activity Thursday and Friday, after which the Saints may give him a game-day designation for Sunday's contest against the Seahawks. Mark Ingram again would be the main beneficiary if Kamara is limited or out this weekend, with Dwayne Washington and Tony Jones the other running backs on New Orleans' active roster.

Present at practice Wednesday Kamara (ribs) took part in practice Wednesday, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.
Impact Despite logging three limited practices during Week 3 prep, Kamara was unavailable for this past Sunday's loss to the Vikings in London due to a rib injury. His activity level Wednesday isn't known, but if he handles all the reps, he'll be in line to lead the Saints backfield moving forward.

Inactive Sunday Kamara (ribs) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Vikings.
Impact With Kamara inactive, look for Mark Ingram to head the Saints' running back corps versus the Vikings, with Dwayne Washington and Latavius Murray on hand to work in complementary roles. Kamara's next chance to suit up will arrive in Week 5, when New Orleans faces the Seahawks.

Not in line to play Sunday Kamara (ribs) is not slated to play Sunday against the Vikings, Stacey Dales of NFL Network reports.
Impact Kamara's status for the contest will be officially confirmed upon the release of the Saints' inactives ahead of Sunday's 9:30 ET kickoff, but it looks like the team's Week 4 rushing game is in line to be led by Mark Ingram.

Officially questionable Kamara (ribs) is listed as questionable on Friday's injury report, John Hendrix of SI.com reports.
Impact Kamara is questionable for Sunday's contest against the Vikings after having logged a trio of limited practices this week. Meanwhile, the Saints already have Jameis Winston (back/ankle/hip) listed as doubtful and Michael Thomas (foot) ruled out, so the team can scarce to lose another playmaker of Kamara's level. If Kamara is able to suit up, he could benefit from increased target volume in Thomas' absence, likely catching passes from Andy Dalton.

Limited again in practice Kamara (rib) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
Impact Kamara has had his reps capped in both of the Saints' first two practices of Week 4, but at this stage, the team hasn't suggested that the rib injury will keep the running back sidelined for Sunday's game against the Vikings like it did during the team's Week 2 loss to Tampa Bay. In his return to action last weekend at Carolina, Kamara handled a 70-percent snap share and turned his 17 touches (15 carries, two receptions) into 73 yards from scrimmage. In other news related to Kamara, David Charns of 8 News Now Las Vegas relays that the running back has had his latest court date stemming from his February arrest on a battery charge pushed back to Nov. 9. Given the multiple delays in the court proceedings, it's looking increasingly unlikely that a resolution on the legal matter will come before the end of the season, which lessens the potential of Kamara having to serve a suspension in 2022.

Saints try to snap 2-game skid in London clash with Vikings
The New Orleans Saints are trying to snap a two-game skid when they serve as the home team in an International Series game against the Minnesota Vikings in LondonSEPTEMBER 29, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Starts week limited Kamara (ribs) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, John Hendrix of SI.com reports.
Impact Kamara played through his rib injury Week 3 versus Carolina, but he was limited to 73 scrimmage yards on 17 touches, while Mark Ingram saw five touches and scored New Orleans' only rushing touchdown. If Kamara can improve his practice level over the next two days, he could be closer to 100 percent form and thus more effective during Sunday's contest against the Vikings in London.

Struggles in return Kamara (ribs) rushed 15 times for 61 yards while catching two of seven targets for 12 yards and losing a fumble in Sunday's 22-14 loss to the Panthers.
Impact Kamara suited up after sitting out in Week 2 but appeared to be far from 100 percent. His first-quarter fumble near midfield was returned for a touchdown by Carolina's defense, and Kamara watched Mark Ingram punch in a five-yard touchdown in the third. Jameis Winston has shown much less interest in checking down to Kamara compared to previous Saints quarterbacks, as Kamara has just 19 receiving yards on the season heading into the Week 4 London game against the Vikings.

SEPTEMBER 25, 2022 • NEWORLEANSSAINTS.COM
Returning to action Sunday Kamara (ribs) is listed as active Sunday at Carolina.
Impact After maintaining limited sessions during the entirety of Week 3 prep, Kamara will miss just one game as a result of a rib injury. While he handled a 63 percent share of the offensive snaps in the season opener, he was given only 12 touches, which he turned into 46 yards from scrimmage. There's a chance he yields some reps to Mark Ingram and perhaps Dwayne Washington out of the Saints backfield, but Kamara still should receive a majority share of the team's RB workload.
SEPTEMBER 25, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Expected to play Sunday Kamara (ribs) is listed as questionable, but he's expected to play Sunday against the Panthers, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Impact Kamara sat out during the team's Week 2 loss to Tampa Bay due to a rib injury, but he's on track to return Sunday after logging limited practices throughout the week. However, fantasy managers should still confirm his status ahead of Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. If available, Kamara may be limited following his one-game absence, but he'll likely still be a top-tier option against Carolina's poor run defense.
