Alvin Kamara News
Wednesday, October 21, 2:08 PM
New Orleans Saints veteran running back Alvin Kamara (back) was listed as limited in the first practice of the week on Wednesday, according to Jeff Nowak. Kamara has been dealing with a back injury for the last three weeks. The 31-year-old actually tweaked his back in Sunday's win over the New York Giants, but he was able to return to the field and finish out the contest. He finished the 34-27 victory with seven carries for 34 yards while catching two of his four targets for 35 yards and his first receiving touchdown of the year. Kamara's workload was disappointing, considering that Travis Etienne Jr. (hamstring) is still on Injured Reserve. If Kamara is active in Week 7 in Paris against the Pittsburgh Steelers, it could be his last time with an elevated workload with Etienne on the sidelines. The five-time Pro Bowler is averaging just 3.4 yards per carry through five games for 120 yards and two touchdowns on 35 carries. Kamara has added 15 receptions for 76 yards and another score. If Kamara plays this weekend, he'll be more of an RB3/flex play in PPR leagues while sharing backfield touches with Kendre Miller and C.J. Donaldson.

De'Von Achane News
Monday, September 28, 6:50 AM
Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane (knee) has been diagnosed with a torn ACL and will miss the remainder of the 2026 season, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL.com. Achane initially suffered the injury during the first half of Sunday's loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, and testing has confirmed the diagnosis is as severe as initially expected. It's a crushing blow for the Dolphins, who have been struggling on both sides of the ball this season. The talented 24-year-old running back was the lone bright spot for this Miami offense, which will now move forward with some combination of Ollie Gordon II and Jaylen Wright (foot) leading the backfield. Achane finishes his fourth NFL season with just three games, 34 carries, 127 rushing yards, seven catches, 49 receiving yards, and zero touchdowns. He'll now turn his focus to a lengthy recovery process in hopes of being ready for Week 1 of the 2027 season.
