Mandatory Credit: Stephen Lew-Imagn Images New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara left Tuesday's joint practice with the Dallas Cowboys with a knee injury, according to multiple media reports.
He avoided serious injury but is still expected to be sidelined for a few weeks, NewOrleans.football additionally reported.
Kamara, 31, has spent his entire career with the Saints since they drafted him in the third round in 2017, agreeing to a restructured contract to remain with New Orleans this offseason.
He's the Saints' all-time leader in rushing yards (7,250) and rushing touchdowns (61).
Kamara made the Pro Bowl in each of his first five seasons but hasn't made one since 2021. He played a career-low 11 games and ran for a career-low 471 yards and one touchdown last season due to knee and ankle injuries.
With former Jaguars running back Travis Etienne Jr. signing a four-year, $52 million contract with New Orleans in free agency, Kamara is expected to step into a backup role this season.
