NFL Commissioner Rodger Goodell was aware that Saints running back Alvin Kamara was a suspect in a battery case before the Pro Bowl kicked off, but still allowed Kamara to play in the game. A report by nola.com quotes the Commissioner as saying he was aware Kamara was a suspect in an alleged nightclub battery that occurred Saturday morning.

The nola report quotes Goodell from a pre-Super Bowl news conference earlier today.

"Our security team was contacted by the police in Las Vegas just prior to the game, saying they would like to meet with Alvin after the game," Goodell said. "Our team made sure that happened. Our security team did what they were asked to do and accommodated that."

Kamara was arrested by Las Vegas Police just hours after playing in the Pro Bowl.
