New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (ankle) is a game-time decision for Sunday’s game against the Atlanta Falcons, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported, per a source.
Kamara, who was listed as a non-participant in all three practice sessions this week, earned a questionable designation for the regular-season finale.
Quarterback Derek Carr will have another offensive threat available in Sunday’s NFC South tilt. Tight end Juwan Johnson (chest) is expected to play, Rapoport reported, per a source.
Johnson did not participate in Wednesday’s practice, however, the veteran tight end was limited in Thursday and Friday’s practices.
This season, Kamara has 694 rushing yards, 466 receiving yards and 6 total touchdowns in 13 games.
Entering Week 18, the Saints have a 29% chance to make the playoffs, per Next Gen Stats. If New Orleans wins, it improves its chances to 48%, per NGS. The Saints are the NFC’s current No. 9 seed in the playoff race.
New Orleans (8-8) and Atlanta (7-9) kick off at 1 p.m. ET.
