New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara is officially listed as questionable for Week 6 against the New York Giants after being limited in practice all week long with a back injury. This isn’t just some minor ding; it’s a real question mark hanging over the Saints’ entire run game.

Kamara’s Back Keeps Him Off The Field

The fact is, Kamara’s back injury has kept him from full participation, limiting him in every practice leading up to Week 6. You want your lead back at 100%, especially when you’re facing off against an NFC opponent. Being limited all week means that back is still barking, and that’s not good news for the Saints’ ground attack.

Kendre Miller Steps Up if Kamara Sits

So, what happens if Kamara can’t go? It’s Kendre Miller who’d step right into the lead back role. This isn’t just a hypothetical; if Kamara is ruled out, Miller suddenly becomes the guy. He could absolutely be worth a pickup on gameday for anyone needing that extra spark.

With Kamara’s status up in the air until game day, all eyes will be on that Saints backfield. Will it be Miller carrying the load? We’ll know soon enough when they face the Giants.
