METAIRIE, La. -- New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara will be full-go Sunday at the New York Jets after missing the past four weeks with knee and hamstring injuries.
Kamara practiced fully all week and had no injury designation on the team's official status report Friday. Both he and Saints coach Sean Payton said he felt healthy enough to play in last Thursday night's loss to the Dallas Cowboys, too. But Payton said, "I just didn't want to set him back."
"He said I was close?" said Kamara, who was listening in on Payton's visit with the media Friday afternoon before speaking himself.
