Darren Rizzi: Alvin Kamara’s groin injury is ‘more significant than we originally thought’

Saints running back Alvin Kamara looks unlikely to play Monday night in Green Bay, and it’s unclear if he’ll play again this season.

New Orleans interim head coach Darren Rizzi said today that the groin injury Kamara suffered Sunday is significant and the Saints do not know when he will return.

“The situation with Alvin right now, it was probably a little more significant than we first thought. He is week-to-week at the moment. I’ll be honest, it’s not looking good for this week,” Rizzi said. “We’ll see if it’s more weeks. He’s not looking great this week.”

Realistically, the Saints could be mathematically eliminated from the playoffs this week, and if that happens, it’s hard to believe they would rush Kamara back from injury. It is possible that Kamara’s season is over.
