METAIRIE, La. -- New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara returned to practice on a limited basis Wednesday, a good sign that he could return from the knee injury that sidelined him for last Sunday's loss at the Tennessee Titans.
The Saints (5-4) play at the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday, where they will try to avoid their first three-game losing streak since 2016. Kamara would be a vital part of that quest since he leads the Saints' depleted offense with 840 yards from scrimmage, seven touchdowns and 32 receptions.
Saints coach Sean Payton described Kamara's knee injury last week as one that he was rehabbing to return "as quickly as he can get back" after he experienced "soreness" at the end of New Orleans' Week 9 loss to the Atlanta Falcons.
