New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara wants a new contract, but that didn't happen this offseason. However, the eight-year veteran told reporters Sunday after his team's 47-10 season-opening win over the Carolina Panthers that he's focused on playing and isn't going to sit out due to a fictitious "mystery injury."

"I'm not worried about it. I'm here to play. I'm going to play. I'm going to perform. I don't got no illness. I don't got no mystery injury. I'm here. You know what I'm saying? I'm going to play, I'm going to perform, I'm going to be here with my teammates, coaches," Kamara said, per ESPN's Katherine Terrell.
