Devin Neal Set to Lead Saints Backfield Again with Kamara Out

Saints RB Devin Neal (abdomen) has no injury designation for Sunday's game against the Panthers and is positioned as the lead back with Alvin Kamara (knee/ankle) ruled out for a third straight game. Neal practiced in full Friday after kicking off Week 15 with back-to-back limited sessions. In his last two appearances combined, Neal racked up 153 yards from scrimmage and one rushing TD on 37 touches, and he is expected to get a similar workload this Sunday.
