Alvin Kamara Expected to Play Against Falcons

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara is expected to play in Week 4 against the Atlanta Falcons despite hip and rib injuries that made him questionable earlier in the week. Kamara, who has been a standout performer this season, currently ranks as the fourth-leading rusher in the NFL with 285 yards and four rushing touchdowns. His decision to play is partly motivated by his desire to compete in front of his hometown crowd in Atlanta. The Saints, coming off a disappointing loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, will look to exploit their offensive capabilities against the Falcons, who have struggled defensively. Falcons coach Raheem Morris acknowledged Kamara's exceptional skills, noting that the team has long prepared to counter his impact on the field. If Kamara is limited, running back Jamaal Williams is poised to step up as the Saints' RB2.
