As the New Orleans Saints look to snap a three-game losing streak, it appears they'll be without their top two running backs Thanksgiving evening against the Buffalo Bills.
Four-time Pro Bowler Alvin Kamara was ruled out Friday with a knee injury, meaning he'll miss his third straight game. Mark Ingram was listed as questionable with a knee injury, but Jay Glazer said on the FOX pregame show Thursday afternoon that the 31-year-old won't play this evening:
For the 5-5 Saints, it's a pretty crushing blow, as they attempt to avoid letting the first season of the post-Drew Brees era slip away. Since being reacquired in a trade with the Houston Texans, Ingram has rushed for 205 yards in four games, averaging 4.6 yards per carry.
If Sean Payton and company are indeed without their top two rushing options, second-year running back Tony Jones -- who has all of 25 carries in his NFL career -- could be in line to start against the Bills. Glazer added that Ty Montgomery -- a natural wide receiver who has 247 career rushing attempts -- could also be part of a "hodgepodge" in the backfield.
