Saints fear Alvin Kamara suffered season-ending injury

The New Orleans Saints season continues to get hit with the injury bug, as Alvin Kamara is the latest player that may not see the field for the remainder of the season, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

“Saints RB Alvin Kamara’s groin injury still is being evaluated but it’s possible it is a season-ending injury and he has played his last down this year, per sources,” Schefter tweeted on X, formerly Twitter.

Kamara was having a solid season with the Saints and is 50 rushing yards away from getting to 1,000 for the year. The Saints have not had the best luck with injuries, especially on offense.

Saints continue to deal with injuries

Along with Alvin Kamara, there’s a chance that Derek Carr won’t return for the rest of the season after suffering a hand injury weeks ago.

“Sources: Saints QB Derek Carr underwent further examination recently, and he’s at least a few weeks away from being able to withstand contact,” NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport on X, formerly Twitter. “With 3 weeks remaining, a return this season is described as very unlikely. Carr has been out with a left hand fractured in two places.”

The Saints will now have to roll with either Spencer Rattler or Jake Haener as the starting quarterback for the rest of the season. Haener started in Week 15, but he was benched and Rattler took over.

The Saints have also lost Chris Olave and Rashid Shaheed for the season, and their offense has been nowhere near the level it was at the beginning of the year. As of now, the Saints are just trying to compete and see what they have for next season, as the team will be looking for a new head coach to lead them. Hopefully, the Saints can come back strong and have a better year next season.
