The New Orleans Saints have been struggling in the absence of star quarterback Derek Carr and running back Alvin Kamara, and it turns out that is unlikely to change. According to ESPN NFL Insider, "Saints ruled out RB Alvin Kamara and QB Derek Carr for Sunday's game vs. the Raiders."

The New Orleans Saints have been eliminated from playoff contention due to their 5-10 record, and they will play their penultimate game of the season in Week 17 against the Las Vegas Raiders. They will undoubtedly want to end the season on as much of a positive note as possible,

Saints coach Darren Rizzi told reporters Monday that Kamara was dealing with a "groin adductor" type of injury, per ESPN's Katherine Terrell. Rizzi declined to elaborate on whether the injury was minor and told reporters more testing would be done on the running back.
