Last Man Standing: Alvin Kamara Leads Another Depleted Saints Backfield Against Carolina

Faced with a shorthanded backfield, New Orleans will have to rely even more on their biggest star against the Panthers.

By John Hendrix - Saints News Network | SI

Alvin Kamara will again almost singlehandedly lead the New Orleans Saints rushing attack as his team plays at the Carolina Panthers this Sunday. That Kamara is the team's primary offensive weapon is no surprise. Because of injuries at the position, he may also be the team's only viable option at running back.

Kamara leads the Saints with 505 yards rushing through eight games, averaging 4.2 per carry and scoring six of his team's 10 rushing touchdowns. He's also added 307 yards as a receiver on a team-high 40 receptions. Aside from WR Chris Olave (31 catches), no other player on the active roster has more than 18 receptions.

After over 100 scrimmage yards in each of the first four games, Kamara broke a string of three straight outings of under 70 yards with a 122-yard performance last week against the Chargers. Included in that was a season-best 55 receiving yards.

Injuries are hitting the New Orleans backfield hard again this week. Kendre Miller (hamstring) will miss yet another game because of injury, which should come as zero surprise anymore. Jamaal Williams is also considered doubtful for this week because of a groin injury. ...

The interview process is vital to understanding how these prospects think and if they can make it in the NFL. The New Orleans Saints will do their due diligence throughout the combine week, and although the team has hinted at Derek Carr being the starter in 2025, QB still needs to be looked at going into the draft. One of these quarterbacks the team could target, Miami's Cam Ward, is considered the far and away top QB in the draft. It is likely Ward gets selected before pick 9, but per Nick Underhill, the Saints still met with him yesterday at the NFL Combine.

Per Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.football, the New Orleans Saints had a formal meeting with Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders.

Sanders, son of Hall of Fame cornerback Deion Sanders, is one of the top QB prospects of this draft cycle. In the past two seasons at Colorado, he has amassed 7,362 passing yards, 64 touchdowns, and 13 interceptions. The best game for Sanders would come in 2023, in a game against the Colorado State Rams, where he completed 38/47 passes for 347 yards, four touchdowns, and one interception.

In 2024, he was given the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm award, as well as...
