METAIRIE, La. -- New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara apologized at length Friday for his role in a 2022 fight in Las Vegas that left a man injured.
Kamara took responsibility for his role in the incident, which occurred on the eve of the Pro Bowl last February. He was taken into custody at Allegiant Stadium after the game.
"It's a tough ordeal to be in," Kamara said after Saints practice Friday. "You know, I never want to be involved in something where someone gets hurt or severely injured or anything. Poor judgment on my end, definitely a bad decision, but I'm a man. Everything I've ever done in my life, I've stood on. And I can take accountability for it and I can say when I'm wrong and I was completely wrong."

"Obviously, it's hard to do that when you've got such an incident like that. I'll be lying if I said it wasn't tough," Kamara said. "Lost a lot throughout this ordeal, definitely not looking for any pity, not looking for somebody to give me a pat on the back and say it's OK. I know what I did, I know what I was involved in. I definitely take responsibility and that's part of being a man and growing. From here, I just have to make the right decisions."
