Cleared to face Tampa Kamara (hip/hand) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against Tampa Bay, Matthew Paras of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
Impact The Saints listed Kamara as a non-participant on Wednesday's practice estimate, after he took on a season-high 90 percent snap share in a 26-13 loss to the Chiefs on Monday. He was then a limited practice participant Thursday and Friday, apparently showing enough to avoid an injury designation for the first start of rookie QB Spencer Rattler's career. The Saints may lean on Kamara even more than usual, especially because Taysom Hill (rib) also is out this week, but the combination of Derek Carr's oblique injury and continued health struggles for the interior offensive line mean it's not the best setup for per-touch efficiency or frequent red-zone visits. The opponent, at least, appears favorable for fantasy production, although Tampa's injury-riddled defense appears somewhat healthier compared to the past few games.

Officially limited Thursday Kamara (hip/hand) practiced in a limited fashion Thursday, John Hendrix of SI.com reports.
Impact Kamara was absent from Wednesday's walkthrough due to hip and hand injuries, but his return one day later to a capped session bodes well for his status ahead of Sunday's game versus the Buccaneers. In the end, Friday's practice report will reveal whether or not he enters the weekend with a designation.

Back at practice Thursday Kamara (hip/hand) was present at Thursday's practice, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.
Impact Kamara missed the first session of Week 4 prep, something that was replicated to begin this week, but it appears as if Wednesday's absence was more maintenance-related than anything as he tends to hip and hand injuries. Thursday's practice report will reveal how much work he was able to handle.

DNP on Wednesday Kamara didn't participate in Wednesday's walkthrough due to hip and hand injuries, John Hendrix of SI.com reports.
Impact Kamara was listed with hip and rib injuries the last two weeks but still was able to suit up Weeks 4 and 5. While he handled 26 touches on the first occasion at Atlanta, he fell back to 17 touches Monday in Kansas City. Considering the Saints didn't hold a full practice to begin Week 6 prep, Kamara will have two more chances to prove his health before the team potentially tags him with a designation for Sunday's contest against the Buccaneers.

Runs into brick wall defense Kamara rushed 11 times for 26 yards and caught six of eight targets for 40 yards in Monday's 26-13 loss to the Chiefs.
Impact Kamara was stuffed on most of his carries against a tough Kansas City defensive line in Monday's primetime matchup. The versatile running back maintained a modest four-game streak of posting 40 or more receiving yards on his six receptions. Kamara will look for more success from a fantasy perspective in a home matchup against the Buccaneers on Sunday.

All set for Monday Kamara (hips/ribs) does not carry an injury designation into Monday's game against the Chiefs, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Kamara was a full participant in Saturday's practice clearing the way for the talented back to cleared ahead of the primetime contest. The veteran was listed with the dual hip/ribs injury last week, but that didn't seem to affect his workload as he took 26 touches for 119 total yards and a touchdown on an 81 percent snap share. It's safe to assume Kamara will once again be in a position to pile together plenty of fantasy points for managers.

Limited in practice again Kamara (hip/ribs) was a limited practice participant Friday, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.
Impact Kamara was listed with the same pair of injuries last week and ended up taking 26 touches for 119 yards and a touchdown on 81 percent snap share in a loss to the Falcons. The concern for Monday's game in Kansas City isn't Kamara's health but the health of his blockers, as the Saints already have starting center Erik McCoy (groin) on injured reserve and now have three additional interior linemen missing practice due to injuries. It won't be hard for the Chiefs to get superstar DT Chris Jones in favorable matchups, which is bad news for Kamara's rushing outlook but could help his receiving volume.

The Saints are coming off consecutive losses as they visit Arrowhead Stadium to face the unbeaten Chiefs on Monday nightOCTOBER 3 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Begins week as limited Kamara (hip/ribs) practiced in a limited fashion Thursday.
Impact Kamara managed a pair of limited practices last week due to the same health concerns and still was able to suit up this past Sunday in Atlanta, handling a typical 82 percent snap share and turning 26 touches into 119 yards from scrimmage and one rushing TD. His scaled-back workload Thursday likely is maintenance-related, but his status still should be monitored to ensure he's good to go for Monday's matchup with the Chiefs.

Back to reality for the Saints after another close loss, this one to the Falcons
The first two weeks of the season, the New Orleans Saints looked unbeatableSEPTEMBER 29 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Finds end zone in Atlanta Kamara carried the ball 19 times for 77 yards and a touchdown and caught seven of nine targets for 42 yards in Sunday's 26-24 loss to the Falcons.
Impact For the fourth straight game to begin the season, Kamara topped 100 scrimmage yards, and he's already piled up six TDs (five rushing, one receiving). His one-yard score inside the final three minutes of the fourth quarter Sunday looked like it might give the Saints the win, but a pass interference call on Paulson Adebo set up Younghoe Koo for a game-winning 58-yard field goal for the Falcons instead. Kamara will look to keep rolling in Week 5 against Kansas City.
