New Orleans Saints RB Devin Neal (ankle) fully participated in practice Friday, Nov. 28, and is not on the injury report for Week 13.
| Footballguys view: With Alvin Kamara sidelined, Neal is expected to lead the backfield against a beatable Miami run defense. Audric Estime and Taysom Hill will likely see some touches, but rookies who get late-season opportunities are often league-winners. If Neal's fresh legs translate into big plays while Kamara is out, he could far exceed projections. Get him in your lineup as a high-end RB3 this week. |
New Orleans Saints WR Chris Olave (back) was limited during practice Friday, Nov. 28, and is listed as questionable for Week 13.
| Footballguys view: It's never a good sign when a player pops up on the injury report midweek. Luckily for fantasy managers, the Saints play early. If Olave can't suit up, there will be plenty of pivot options. It's encouraging that Olave has maintained any participation in practice, but it's good practice to have an alternate line up just in case. |
New Orleans Saints RB Alvin Kamara (knee) has been ruled out of the Week 13 game but is not a candidate for the Reserve/Injured list, according to head coach Kellen Moore.
| Footballguys view: MCL sprains can vary in severity, making his return hard to predict. Adam Hutchison projects a Week 17 comeback, keeping him mostly off the fantasy radar this year. He's worth a stash in case he does return, but in his absence, Devin Neal, Aucris Estime, and Taysom Hill are expected to handle most of the backfield touches. |

New Orleans Saints RB Alvin Kamara (ankle, knee) and WR Chris Olave (back) did not participate in practice Thursday, Nov. 27. RB Devin Neal (ankle) was limited during practice, while OT Taliese Fuaga (ankle) fully participated in practice.
| Footballguys view: Keep an eye on the Kamara situation. Neal would be in line for a larger role, but he's also dealing with his own injury. |

| Footballguys view: Olave is considered day-to-day with back spasms. A full or limited on practice on Friday would make us feel much better about his status in Week 13. |

Link to storyNew Orleans Saints RB Devin Neal (ankle) was limited during practice Wednesday, Nov. 26.
| Footballguys view: Neal is in line for a larger role with Alvin Kamara (knee) banged up. He's a powerful runner, and the rookie is built to take on a large workload between the tackles. We'll see what he can do on Friday as the Saints prepare to take on the Dolphins in Week 13. |
New Orleans Saints RB Alvin Kamara (ankle, knee) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Nov. 26.
| Footballguys view: Kamara might be shut down for the time being to get healthy, and the Saints are getting their depth tested at the position. Devin Neal and Audric Estime are the only other running backs on the 53-man roster, with Evan Hull stashed on the practice squad. We'll know more as the week of practice goes on. The Saints travel to play the Dolphins on Sunday. |

Free-agent WR Samori Toure (Packers) signed with the practice squad of the New Orleans Saints Tuesday, Nov. 25, and WR Jha'Quan Jackson was released, according to a source.
Link to storyFree-agent PK Cade York (Bengals) was signed by the New Orleans Saints to an undisclosed deal Tuesday, Nov. 25. PK Blake Grupe was released.
| Footballguys view: York and former Ravens kicker Justin Tucker were scheduled to have tryouts on Tuesday. Since 2022, York has spent time with the Browns, Titans, Giants, Commanders, and Bengals. He had not yet been on a roster in 2025. He has made 45 of 33 field goals, for a career success percentage of 73.3. York has also made 51 of 54 extra points. |
Alvin Kamara has an MCL sprain, a source tells NewOrleans.football's Nick Underhill.
| Footballguys view: Kamara is likely to miss time. It could be a week. Maybe more, but Underhill stressed this is "nothing super serious or threatening long term." He also noted that Kamara and his recovery team have beaten timelines before to get back on the field sooner than expected. Devin Neal and Audric Estime are the only other running backs on the 53-man roster, with Evan Hull stashed on the practice squad. But it was Taysom Hill seeing the lion's share of rushes when Kamara was ruled out in Sunday's Falcons game. We'll be watching for more here. |

Free-agent PK Justin Tucker (Ravens) will work out for the New Orleans Saints Monday, Nov. 24.
| Footballguys view: Tucker was reinstated 13 days ago, after serving a 10-game suspension under the Personal Conduct Policy. Some believed Tucker's off-field baggage, coupled with a lackluster 2024 season with the Ravens (73.3-percent field-goal conversion rate), would make it more difficult for him to get a shot. Current Saints kicker Blake Grupe has missed eight of 26 field goals this season. On Sunday against the Falcons, Grupe missed a 38-yard field goal and a 47-yard field goal. |

New Orleans Saints RB Alvin Kamara (knee) is believed to have suffered a sprained knee in the Week 12 game against the Atlanta Falcons. He is scheduled for an MRI to determine the full extent of the injury, but the hope is that he avoided a major injury.
| Footballguys view: Kamara was coming on with a 25 touch, 100+ total yard game going into the bye, but the Saints offense sputtered against the Falcons, and then Kamara left the game. Devin Neal is next man up in the backfield, although Taysom Hill could also have a larger role as a runner if Kamara is going to miss significant time. |

New Orleans Saints WR Chris Olave (ankle) practiced in full on Friday, Nov. 21, and no longer appears on the injury report.
| Footballguys view: Olave practiced in full all week, so there was never any doubt he'd be ready for Sunday's divisional matchup against the Falcons. Only Ja'Marr Chase and Jaxon Smith-Njigba have more targets than Olave this year. Get him in your lineup as a WR1. |

New Orleans Saints RB Alvin Kamara (ankle) was limited during practice Friday, Nov. 21, and is listed as questionable for Week 12.
| Footballguys view: After being limited all week, we'd feel much better about Kamara if he had logged a full practice on Friday. It hasn't been a great season for the veteran running back, but he handled 25 touches last week. That volume puts him in RB2 consideration. If Kamara can't play through this ankle injury, expect Devin Neal and Taysom Hill to see increased work. |

| Footballguys view: Cooks is now exposed to the waiver process. We'll see if any team claims him, and he should have some interest as a deep threat. A team who needs WR help and is in a playoff window should consider the speedy veteran. |
