Saints coach Sean Payton said earlier that he fully expected Alvin Kamara to play Sunday against Atlanta, and the running back was upgraded from limited to a full-go at practice.
"Feel back, feel good," Kamara said. "Practiced the past 2 days, I'm ready to play. I've been gone."
Also taking part in a full session Thursday were Drew Brees, Tre’Quan Smith and Jared Cook. CB Patrick Robinson (hamstring) and TE Josh Hill (calf) were limited for a 2nd straight day.
