The New Orleans Saints dealt with a litany of injuries both during their Week 4 game with the Atlanta Falcons and prior to the matchup as well. One notable one was Alvin Kamara who was dealing with hip and ribs injuries and was questionable heading into the game. He played through broken ribs, per Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football and Katherine Terrell of ESPN, and discussed his mindset in putting his body at risk after the game.
But Kamara isn’t looking for pity. Kamara was asked what he was playing through during this locker room interview as well, saying, “Same thing everybody else playing through, it is what it is, everybody got something, so I don’t know, you gotta go around the locker room and ask everybody what they’re dealing with.”
Then he was asked if he had ever considered not playing this game, and replied: “I mean I was gonna do everything I could do to play, like I said, I was out there, you know so, I didn’t really have any thoughts about not playing, I just had to figure out how I was gonna play, and I figured it out.”
Kamara made it clear that his focus was on the team and that everybody on it is dealing with something, so despite his injury he wanted to be out on the field for them, which he was.
