Alvin Kamara Remains Absent with MCL Sprain, Likely Out for Week 18

Saints RB Alvin Kamara (knee/ankle) did not participate in Wednesday's practice, marking his fifth straight missed game due to a sprained MCL suffered Week 12. With New Orleans definitively eliminated from playoff contention, there's little incentive to rush the 30-year-old veteran back on the field for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Falcons. Audric Estime impressed as the leader of the Saints' backfield in Week 17, rushing 14 times for 94 yards and one score.
