Listed as questionable again Kamara (ribs) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Carolina, Luke Johnson of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
Impact Kamara was listed as questionable ahead of last week's game against Tampa Bay but never seemed likely to play, and he ultimately was inactive while Mark Ingram and Tony Jones took over the backfield. This week, Kamara has a real shot, following limited practices Wednesday through Friday. If he ends up missing another week, Ingram would be the preferred fantasy play over Jones, who got just four touches on 34 snaps in the loss to Tampa (Ingram got 12 touches on 25 snaps). There's also the possibility of Kamara playing but in a limited role, something the Saints won't necessarily reveal ahead of the 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff this Sunday.

Remains limited at practice Kamara (ribs) was limited at practice Thursday.
Impact Kamara maintained his activity level from Wednesday and will have another opportunity to bump up to full before the Saints issue their final Week 3 injury report. He's looking to keep his DNP streak to one game, which may be confirmed as soon as Friday.

Saints' defense encouraged by strides made since opener
Saints coach Dennis Allen sounds more optimistic about the defense he oversees as his team prepares to visit the Carolina Panthers this SundaySEPTEMBER 22, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Limited in return to practice Kamara (ribs) practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday.
Impact Kamara was able to log just one limited practice last week before the Saints deemed him inactive for this past Sunday's loss to the Buccaneers. The team may take a cautious approach as it prepares for this Sunday's road matchup with the Panthers, but the sixth-year running back has two more opportunities this week to get back to full activity in practice.

Back at practice Wednesday Kamara (ribs) took part in Wednesday's practice, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports.
Impact Kamara managed just one limited practice during Week 2 prep before the Saints made him inactive for this past Sunday's loss to the Buccaneers. His activity level to begin this week isn't known yet, but he at least appears to be putting himself on a path to play Week 3 at Carolina. Wednesday's injury report will reveal how much work Kamara was able to handle.

Sitting out Week 2 Kamara (ribs) is listed as inactive Sunday against the Buccaneers, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.
Impact Kamara opened Week 2 prep with a limited session, only to end it with back-to-back absences Thursday and Friday due to a rib issue. As Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff approached, his status became more and more murky, and the Saints ultimately will keep him in street clothes. In Kamara's stead, Mark Ingram (ankle) should get the first chance to work out of the team's backfield, but he was limited in practice Wednesday through Friday. Behind Ingram, Dwayne Washington (hamstring) and Tony Jones are the next backs up for New Orleans. On a fortunate note for the Saints, Adam Schefter of ESPN relays that the team doesn't consider Kamara's injury a multi-week concern, so the 27-year-old should have a good chance at making it back in action for New Orleans' next game Sept. 25 at Carolina.

Not expected to play Kamara (ribs) remains listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers but isn't expected to play, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Impact Official confirmation of Kamara's Week 2 status will arrive upon the release of the Saints' inactive list 90 minutes prior to the 1 p.m. ET kickoff. Assuming Kamara ends up being out, Mark Ingram (ankle), if active, should see an expanded workload Sunday along with Tony Jones.

Not expected to play Sunday Kamara (ribs) is listed as questionable, but he isn't expected to play Sunday against the Buccaneers, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Impact Kamara was a limited participant Wednesday but didn't practice Thursday or Friday, putting him in serious doubt for Week 2. Backup RB Mark Ingram (ankle) is also questionable, but he's expected to play Sunday, so he could be in line for a hefty workload as New Orleans' top running back.

Questionable for Sunday Kamara (ribs) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Tampa Bay, Rod Walker of NOLA.com reports.
Impact Kamara opened the week as a limited participant but now appears truly in doubt for Sunday after missing practice Thursday and Friday. Backup RB Mark Ingram (ankle) also is listed as questionable this week, though seemingly with better odds to play after managing limited practices Wednesday through Friday. Behind those two, the Saints have Tony Jones and Dwayne Washington (questionable - hamstring) as their other RBs on the roster.
SEPTEMBER 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Not spotted Friday Kamara (ribs) doesn't appear to be practicing Friday, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.
Impact It's a sign he's in danger of missing Sunday's game against the Bucs, now missing back-to-back practices after a limited session Wednesday. Mark Ingram (ankle) will fill in as the starter if Kamara can't play, assuming the 32-year-old Ingram can play after limited practices Wednesday and Thursday.

Spectator for Thursday's practice Kamara (rib) was in attendance for Thursday's practice but wasn't spotted participating in drills, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports.
Impact Kamara's presence on the sideline Thursday comes after he was a limited participant in the Saints' first Week 2 practice session Wednesday due to the rib injury he sustained during last Sunday's win over the Falcons. While the downturn in activity isn't the most welcome sign for Kamara, it's conceivable that the Saints intended to give him some extra maintenance Thursday before having him return to the field Friday in some capacity. With that in mind, Kamara's activity at Friday's practice will bear watching, but unless he's a full participant in the session, he may head into this weekend's matchup against the Buccaneers with an injury designation.
SEPTEMBER 15, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Limited to start week Kamara (rib) was a limited practice participant Wednesday.
Impact Any kind of participation is a good sign for Kamara's availability Week 2 against Tampa Bay. He played 62 percent of offensive snaps in the season opener but was held to 46 scoreless yards on 12 touches in a game where the Saints' wide receivers led the charge. Any limitations in Week 2 could benefit Mark Ingram, though he also was a limited participant Wednesday (with an ankle injury).
