Alvin Kamara Not at OTAs But Preparing for the 2026 Season
New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (knee, ankle) was not at the team's OTA practice on Wednesday, a source told Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football. However, he has been working out with his trainers on a daily basis and is preparing for the upcoming 2026 season. Kamara has reportedly considered retirement this offseason after missing the final six games of last season due to an MCL sprain and an ankle injury, and his future in the Big Easy is up in the air. The 30-year-old veteran said he is excited to work alongside new backfield addition Travis Etienne Jr. this year, but it's still a question mark as to whether he's back with the Saints this fall. The five-time Pro Bowler played in a career-low 11 games last year and had just 471 rushing yards and one touchdown on 131 carries while adding 33 receptions for 186 yards and no touchdowns through the air. Even if Kamara returns to the Saints in 2026, he'll be the clear No. 2 behind Etienne. The nine-year veteran hasn't had a single 1,000-yard rushing campaign, but his prowess as a pass-catcher made him a high-end RB1 in his prime. After Kamara's injury to close out last year and the addition of Etienne in the offseason, he has plummeted to No. 59 in RotoBaller's RB rankings for the upcoming campaign.
