Alvin Kamara out Sunday vs. Buccaneers


New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara isn't expected to play Sunday versus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers due to a rib injury, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Kamara was a non-participant at practice Thursday and Friday because of the ailment. He was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice.

Kamara was quiet in Week 1, rushing for only 39 yards on nine carries, but has been a focal point of the Saints' offense for years. He received a career-high 240 carries last year, leading to 898 yards and four touchdowns on the ground. He also also caught 47 passes for 439 yards and five touchdowns.
