For the 5th time in his 5-year NFL career, Alvin Kamara will miss a game. The running has been ruled out for week 10’s contest at Tennessee due to a knee injury that kept him out of practice all week.
It makes another tall hurdle pop up for the Saints since Kamara isn’t just the team’s top rusher; he is also the team leader in receptions and in touchdowns.
Pile it on for Coach Payton this week as two more big names are out. Tackle Terron Armstead is dealing with knee and shoulder issues. The media did see him at practice, but T-Stead was a non-participant.
It was no surprise not seeing CJ Gardner-Johnson all week.
The safety was in immense pain following a foot injury in the loss to Atlanta and has been seen in pictures on social media wearing a walking-boot.
The Titans have 7 players listed on their final injury report:
OUT
S Dan Cruickshank (knee)
LB David Long (hamstring)
CB Greg Mabin (ankle)
QUESTIONABLE
LB Rashaann Evans (ankle)
LB Bud Dupree (knee)
DL Teair Tart (groin)
WR Julio Jones (hamstring)
The Saints know Jones well from his days in the ATL. He’s caught 3 touchdowns in 18 games against New Orleans, making 102 receptions for 1,615 yards. Julio has lost 4 fumbles playing against New Orleans, the most against any team in his 11-year career.
