Saints' Kamara Returns to Practice While Jordan Is Ruled Out for Sunday's Opener at Detroit
Alvin Kamara returned to limited practice, while coach Kellen Moore said Cam Jordan will miss the opener because of a hamstring injury.
- On Wednesday, New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara returned to practice in limited capacity, while head coach Kellen Moore ruled defensive end Cameron Jordan out for Sunday's season opener against the Detroit Lions due to a hamstring injury.
- Jordan has not practiced since early August with a hamstring injury; Moore opted not to place the 37-year-old on injured reserve, leaving open potential return before Week 4.
- Quarterback Tyler Shough called Kamara's return a "huge" development, noting the running back sprained his MCL on August 18 but his limited presence raised prospects of playing Sunday.
- Moore described the upcoming game as a "great opportunity" to test the team, which signed running back Travis Etienne to a four-year, $48 million contract to anchor the offensive rotation.
- The Saints view the opener against the Lions as a measuring stick; Shough, who "had a great offseason," expressed excitement to compete, positioning New Orleans to prove strength in 2026.
