Continues to miss practice The Saints listed Kamara (knee) as a non-participant in Tuesday's practice.
Impact Since Tuesday is likely to be the Saints' most rigorous practice session of the week with the team facing a quick turnaround for its Thanksgiving Day game against the Bills, Kamara's inability to take any reps suggests he'll be in line for a third straight absence Thursday. Before giving Kamara a designation this week, the Saints will see what both he and Mark Ingram (knee) are able to do during Wednesday's workout. Ingram wasn't able to take any reps during Tuesday's practice either, leaving Tony Jones and special-teams contributor Dwayne Washington as the healthy backs on the New Orleans roster.

Saints trying to put a stop to 3-game skid, and slow starts
The Saints’ first three game-skid since 2016 has cast doubt on their prospects for what once looked like a promising seasonNOVEMBER 22, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Not yet practicing The Saints listed Kamara (knee) as a non-participant on Monday's estimated practice report.
Impact While New Orleans didn't hold a formal practice one day after its 40-29 loss to the Eagles, Kamara's estimated listing means that he wouldn't have been on the field if the Saints held a workout. The Saints face a quick turnaround Week 12 with a Thursday night matchup against the Bills, so Kamara could be hard-pressed to put an end to his two-game absence due to an MCL sprain. He hasn't practiced in any capacity since last Wednesday; he was a limited participant that day and then didn't practice either of the next two days, seemingly hinting at a setback. Mark Ingram would be in line to serve as New Orleans' lead back once again if Kamara is ruled out for Thanksgiving Day.

Ruled out for second straight game Kamara (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game in Philadelphia.
Impact Kamara returned to practice Wednesday in limited fashion but then was held out Thursday and Friday. Mark Ingram is expected lead the New Orleans backfield for a second straight game sans Kamara, though he could have more competition for snaps if Tony Jones (ankle) is activated from injured reserve after returning to practice Wednesday. Last week, Ingram took 18 touches for 108 yards and a score while playing 85 percent of the snaps, while Ty Montgomery left with a finger injury after taking a handful of backfield snaps in the first quarter. Montgomery is out this week, along with Kamara, leaving Ingram, special teamer Dwayne Washington and possibly Jones as the Saints' backfield options.

Not seen at practice Kamara (knee) doesn't appear to be practicing Friday, Amie Just of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
Impact Kamara returned Wednesday as a limited participant before dropping back to DNP on Thursday. He now seems unlikely to play Sunday against the Eagles, pending the Saints' final injury report Friday afternoon.

Doesn't practice Thursday Kamara (knee) didn't practice Thursday, Amie Just of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
Impact The Saints held Kamara out of Week 10 prep and game action due to a sprained MCL, but he seemed to make some progress through the issue by practicing in a limited capacity Wednesday. His downgrade to no activity one day later may be the result of the team managing his reps, but it also could indicate a setback with his health. Without confirmation one way or another, Kamara's situation bears watching as the week goes on, with either Friday's injury report or coach Sean Payton himself touching on his top running back. Mark Ingram is set to lead New Orleans' backfield if Kamara is unable to suit up Sunday at Philadelphia.

Impact After he returned to practice Wednesday as a limited participant, Kamara's absence from the Saints' team workout a day later hints at a possible setback in his recovery from an MCL sprain, which kept him from playing in last week's loss to the Titans. Head coach Sean Payton will likely address Kamara's situation later Thursday or Friday, but at this stage, the star running back looks to be far from a lock to make it back in the lineup for Sunday's game in Philadelphia. Mark Ingram would likely be in store for a three-down role and a good deal of touches as New Orleans' lead back if Kamara is ultimately sidelined for a second straight contest.

Limited in return to practice Kamara (knee) practiced in a limited fashion Wednesday, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.
Impact One week removed from logging no practice reps before sitting out this past Sunday at Tennessee due to a knee sprain, Kamara got back on the field during the first session of Week 11 prep. It's no surprise that he had a cap on his activity, and he'll now have two more chances to bump up to full before week's end. There was another positive development in the Saints backfield Wednesday with Tony Jones (ankle) returning to practice, thus opening his 21-day window in which to be activated from IR. In any case, if Kamara makes the requisite progress this week and is cleared to play, he'll resume his status as the team's No. 1 RB.

Returns to practice Kamara (knee) returned to practice Wednesday, Luke Johnson of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
Impact He'll presumably be a limited participant after missing practice last week and being ruled out for Sunday's eventual loss to the Titans. Even so, Kamara's participation suggests he has a shot to return for the Week 11 matchup with Philadelphia on Sunday.
