The Atlanta Falcons (1-2) need a win badly as they prepare for their first division game of the season. Sunday’s NFC South showdown against the New Orleans Saints (2-1) may not be in prime time, but it’s arguably the Falcons’ most important game yet.
While both teams are dealing with injuries along their offensive lines, the Saints have a few others to watch in Week 4. Running back Alvin Kamara (hip/ribs) and wide receiver Chris Olave (shoulder) were officially listed as questionable on the team’s final injury report.
According to a report from ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Kamara is “planning to play” in Sunday’s game.

Kamara has been a force this season, rushing for 285 yards and four touchdowns on 4.7 yards per attempt. The dual-threat running back has also added 10 catches for 132 receiving yards and a touchdown.
If Kamara can’t play on Sunday, the Saints would look to backup Jamaal Williams to lead the way on the ground. As for Olave, the third-year wideout is expected to be a game-time decision.
