The New Orleans Saints shared their final injury report of the 2024 season, but it doesn’t contain much good news before kickoff with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Star running back Alvin Kamara (groin) is doubtful for Sunday, and five more players are questionable. Two others have already been ruled out.
Neither starting quarterback Derek Carr (left hand) nor running backup Kendre Miller (concussion) will play in the regular season finale. Kamara will have a workout on Saturday to determine whether he can travel with the team and dress out to chase his first 1,000-yard season (he’s already up to a career-high 950 rushing yards), but the doubtful tag suggests he’s a long shot to play.
As for the questionable group? That includes defensive end Payton Turner (ankle), linebackers Pete Werner (concussion) and Willie Gay Jr. (shoulder) as well as tight end Juwan Johnson (knee) and wide receiver Chris Olave (head). We’ll be watching to see if they can go this week.
For their part, the Buccaneers preemptively ruled out cornerback Jamel Dean (knee) and safety Antoine Winfield (knee). Tight end Cade Otton (knee) is doubtful to play, and two more are questionable between defensive lineman William Gholston (knee) and wide receiver Sterling Shepard (hamstring). Here’s the final injury report from both teams:
