The New Orleans Saints are practicing an abundance of caution, and will not play either starting running back Alvin Kamara or tight end Jared Cook against the Chicago Bears in Week 7. Kamara has been managing ankle and knee injuries in recent weeks, while Cook was a surprise entry after turning in a healthy day of work against the Jacksonville Jaguars last Sunday. Saints quarterback Drew Brees, wide receiver Tre’Quan Smith, and pass rusher Trey Hendrickson were also each preemptively ruled out. Few of them will likely travel with the team to the Windy City.
So where do they go from here?
