Not playing in preseason finale Kamara isn't suited up for Sunday's exhibition contest against Tennessee, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Kamara returned to practice Tuesday after dealing with back tightness for about a week. The running back missed the Saints' second preseason game against San Francisco last weekend and won't play in the finale of the exhibition slate Sunday, so he'll finish the preseason with the two carries for three yards he tallied in New Orleans' opener against Arizona on Aug. 10. All signs point to Kamara being ready to go as the Saints' No. 1 running back in Week 1 against Carolina on Sept. 8.

Returns to practice Kamara (back) returned to practice Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Impact Albeit a lighter practice, according to Matthew Paras of NOLA.com, Kamara's return is certainly a positive sign. He had been sidelined since Aug. 13 with back tightness. Given the veteran back's status as the team's No. 1 option in the backfield, it would not be surprising to see head coach Dennis Allen continue to exercise caution with his availability going forward in preseason competition.

Sitting out against 49ers Kamara (back) won't play in Sunday's preseason game against the 49ers, John Hendrix of Sports Illustrated reports.

Impact Kamara is in attendance but won't be seeing the field, as the coaching staff has little reason to deploy the veteran running back in this exhibition game while Kamara works his way back from back tightness that has kept him from practicing in the lead-up to this second preseason game. Kamara's unlikely to dress for the Saints' Aug. 25 preseason finale against the Titans, but the team hasn't given any indication that his regular-season availability could be affected by this injury.

AUGUST 18 • ROTOWIRE

Still missing practice Kamara (back) remained sidelined at practice Friday, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Per Luke Johnson of the New Orleans Times-Picayune, Kamara left practice earlier this week with back tightness, so at this stage the running back should be considered day-to-day. With that in mind, it doesn't seem likely that Kamara will appear in Sunday's preseason game against the 49ers.

Remains sidelined Wednesday Kamara (back) is not practicing Wednesday, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports.

Impact Kamara will miss a second consecutive day of practice due to back tightness. Coach Dennis Allen downplayed the severity of Kamara's situation Tuesday, so it doesn't appear the veteran running back is dealing with anything that will keep him from practicing for too long. If Kamara's back tightness keeps him off the field for Sunday's preseason game against the 49ers, though, it could pave the way for Jamaal Williams to start, especially with Kendre Miller (hamstring) still a non-participant.

Dealing with back injury Saints head coach Dennis Allen said Kamara didn't practice Tuesday due to back tightness, John Hendrix of SI.com reports.

Impact Prior to Tuesday's session, Kamara participated in walkthrough, so he wasn't without some activity, and Allen told Luke Johnson of The New Orleans Times-Picayune afterward that the running back's situation is "not a big deal." Kamara handled six offensive snaps during this past Saturday's preseason win at Arizona, but it's unclear if the current concern will affect his availability for Sunday's exhibition at San Francisco.

Two carries in preseason opener Kamara rushed twice for three yards and did not draw a target in the Saints' 16-14 preseason win over the Cardinals on Saturday night.

Impact The veteran running back was in on the first two possessions with the rest of the healthy members of the Saints' first-team offense and recorded a five-yard gain on the first play from scrimmage. Kamara isn't expected to need much preseason action to prepare for what will be his eighth NFL campaign, so it remains to be seen if he'll be back on the field for a road exhibition matchup versus the 49ers on Sunday, Aug. 18.
