Is Alvin Kamara playing today against the Bucs? Update for Saints RB

The Saints will make a decision on his status officially in regards to him being active or inactive about an hour before kickoff. 

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will be facing the New Orleans Saints in Week 18 as their regular season finale. A win for the Bucs secures them a spot in the playoffs as it would win them the NFC South. A loss would mean they would have to rely on the Carolina Panthers to upset the Atlanta Falcons, which isn’t likely.

To gauge how much of a threat the Saints pose to the Bucs in Week 18, we are checking in on their injury report.

Alvin Kamara injury update

Saints running back Alvin Kamara is officially doubtful for Week 18 against the Bucs due to a groin injury. Kamara has had an impressive year despite being beaten up on the injury report. He accumulated 1,493 yards of offense and eight touchdowns in 2024, so the Saint’s missing him is a massive hit to the Saint’s offensive chances against the Bucs.

The Saints will make a decision on his status officially in regards to him being active or inactive about an hour before kickoff.
