Saints running back Alvin Kamara has tested positive for COVID-19.
Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports that Kamara did not practice today and is on the COVID-19 reserve list, but there is apparently still hope that the test is a false positive.
Kamara has had no symptoms, is feeling well and is awaiting a new test which could either confirm he has COVID-19 or find the initial test to be a false positive.
If Kamara is convinced, he wouldn’t be available for Sunday’s season finale and possibly the Saints’ first playoff game as well. The Saints won the NFC South and are still in contention for a first-round playoff pass.
Without Kamara, the Saints would look to running back Latavius Murray, who has a proven track record of playing well to relieve Kamara.
Kamara just stepped out on Christmas Day where he tied the NFL all-time record scoring six touchdowns in a single game.
