Underhill: Kamara will play, barring a setback
NBC Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- Alvin Kamara agreed to restructure his contract with the New Orleans Saints, taking a pay cut but potentially earning up to $2.5 million more through incentives, allowing him to stay with the team where he wants to finish his career.
- Kamara will serve as a backup to Travis Etienne, primarily playing on passing downs, while Etienne is expected to be the primary ball carrier with full-volume starter status and high fantasy value.
- The Bears have optimistic news on offensive tackle Ozzy Trapilo’s knee recovery, expecting him to return to team drills soon after a promising rookie season was cut short by injury.
- Jets running back Breece Hall reports he is "good to go" and ready for a full workload, while Bills RB Ty Johnson remains sidelined with a hamstring strain, potentially increasing James Cook’s role in the passing game.
- Several key players, including Falcons QB Tua Tagovailoa, Giants WR Malik Nabers, Cardinals RB Jeremiyah Love, and Raiders RB Ashton Jeanty, are expected to play in Week 1 despite recent injuries, impacting fantasy football outlooks.
