Full practice participant at last Kamara (knee) was a full practice participant Wednesday.
Impact Since he first appeared on injury reports back in early November due to what was eventually termed as an MCL sprain, Kamara has missed four consecutive contests. Kamara's long-awaited return to full activity coincides with Mark Ingram's placement on the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday due to a positive test for the virus. There's a small chance Ingram gets through the necessary protocols and is cleared to play Sunday at the Jets, but Kamara may have reached full health at a perfect time to take on close to his usual workhorse role. In eight contests prior to the knee injury, Kamara averaged 22.3 touches for 105 yards from scrimmage per game while scoring seven total touchdowns. It's worth noting, however, that his production in those contests came while either Jameis Winston (knee) or Trevor Siemian was starting at quarterback, but Taysom Hill has since ascended to the top of the depth chart. During the four games Hill started in 2020, Kamara averaged only 72 yards from scrimmage and four targets per game while scoring three times.

Likely practicing , could play Kamara (knee) is expected to practice Wednesday and could return for Sunday's game against the Jets, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Impact It would be good timing for the Saints after Mark Ingram landed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday afternoon. Kamara last played in a game Nov. 7 against Atlanta (Week 9), with his subsequent absence due to a knee sprain opening up playing time for Ingram, Ty Montgomery and Tony Jones at various points over the past month.

Sitting out again Thursday Kamara (knee) is listed as inactive Thursday against the Cowboys.
Impact When Kamara was able to receive limited listings on all three Week 13 injury reports, there was a glimmer of hope that he'd be able to see his first game action since Week 9. However, following a report from Ian Rapoport and Jane Slater of NFL Network early Thursday, Kamara was considered unlikely to suit up. Kamara thus will yield the Saints backfield to Mark Ingram, who is back after missing one contest due to swelling in his knee. With Tony Jones a healthy scratch, wide receiver Ty Montgomery, fullback Adam Prentice and special teamer Dwayne Washington are available for any RB reps that don't go to Ingram.

DECEMBER 2, 2021 • THEATHLETIC.COM
On track to sit out Week 13 Kamara (knee), who is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Cowboys, won't be available to play, Ian Rapoport and Jane Slater of NFL Network report.
Impact An official word on Kamara's status won't come until the Saints release their inactive list 90 minutes prior to Thursday's 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff, but fantasy managers should prepare for the star running back to miss a fourth consecutive contest. Heading into Thursday, Kamara appeared to have a decent chance of playing this week after he was listed as a limited participant on practice reports issued Monday through Wednesday, but the Saints may have wanted him to upgrade to full activity before clearing him to return from an MCL sprain. Meanwhile, Mark Ingram practiced fully throughout the week and looks on track to recapture a three-down workhorse role out of the New Orleans backfield after a bout with knee inflammation prevented him from playing in the Saints' Thanksgiving Day loss to the Bills.
