Saints’ running back, Alvin Kamara, remains on the COVID-19 reserve list. The Santos put him on the list last Friday after he tested positive for the coronavirus.
Kamara, however, is eligible to return to the active squad before Sunday’s wild-card game against Bears, but only on the day of the game, after the end of his 10-day isolation. Sean Payton, of course, was not revealing anything earlier in the week, when the Saints coach said “let’s see” about Kamara’s availability.
Kamara’s tweet on Thursday night was closer: “See you Sunday. ”He added a red heart emoji to the post.
The saints are working in unorthodox ways to keep Kamara involved this week, Amie Just of The Times-Picayune reports. The four-time Pro Bowler is attending meetings remotely and even watching training via videoconference.
Kamara scored six touchdowns in his last game, the Saints’ Christmas Day victory over the Vikings, and ended with a league best with 21 runs and receiving touchdowns. He also set career records with 83 receptions and 932 running yards.
