New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara suffered an ankle injury during the team’s Week 5 win over the New York Giants and is officially listed as questionable for Sunday’s contest against the New England Patriots. Fortunately for Saints fans, Mike Triplett of New Orleans.Football believes the running back is on track to play and should start against one of the league’s up-and-coming teams.

Alvin Kamara Injury Update: Saints RB Expected to Play Against Patriots

Even if this report is correct, Alvin Kamara probably won’t receive the same workload he’s received in recent years. After all, the running back is in his age-30 season and is one of the biggest trade targets on the Saints roster. Despite last week’s win, this team is still in the midst of a rebuild and will probably sell their established veterans for draft picks. Kamara won’t earn them a king’s ransom, but New Orleans should be interested in selling him for whatever they can get.

With Kamara likely playing a smaller role, look for Kendre Miller to become a bigger part of the offense. A third-round pick who couldn’t stay out of former head coach Dennis Allen’s doghouse, the TCU product has played well under current head coach Kellen Moore. So far this season, Miller has recorded 165 carries and one touchdown on 38 carries, good for 4.3 yards per attempt despite playing behind a subpar offensive line. While he’ll still be Kamara’s backup, don’t be surprised if he finishes the night with 10-12 carries.

Even if Alvin Kamara can play through his injury, the Saints will have a tough time earning a win against the New England Patriots. The team is currently 3-2, thanks in large part to the emergence of second-year quarterback Drake Maye, his improved offensive line, and the presence of veteran wideout Stefon Diggs.

Packers' Star QB Refuses MVP Title to Fully Focus on Team in Tough Phase
Can you believe it? Jordan Love, the "red-hot" quarterback of the Green Bay Packers, is on track to compete for MVP with +1000 odds at DraftKings – but this guy is "refusing" personal glory to pour all his energy into the team struggling with a "hellish" schedule! Is this a heroic act or just a ploy? Read now to uncover the "truth" behind it! In the Super Bowl era, the Packers have produced three MVP legends: Bart Starr (1966), Brett Favre (1995-1997), and Aaron Rodgers (2011, 2014, 2020, 2021). Now, Jordan Love has a chance to become the fourth, putting the Packers on par with the Baltimore/Indianapolis Colts – the only team with four QB MVPs like Johnny Unitas, Earl Morrall, Bert Jones, and Peyton Manning. With his current "explosive" form, Love ranks fourth in the NFL for passer rating (105.4), tied for fifth in touchdown passes (22), with only four interceptions – the fewest among QBs starting all 13 games, and a 67.1% completion rate ranking seventh. But instead of "dreaming" of MVP, Love seems to be "rejecting" it! In a recent interview, he emphasized: "These are the most important games of the season, obviously with a lot of things coming down to playoff seeding and the division race, so this is the important football. I think it’s everybody, we keep stacking and keep getting better and better throughout the season and learn from the mistakes we make and overcome some of the obstacles. Just keep stacking and trying to find ways to get better every day is something that’s been helping us." These words are like a clear "declaration": Love doesn't care about MVP, but only wants to focus on the team in its "tough phase" with a 9-3-1 record, trailing the Rams (10-3) in the NFC. Head coach Matt LaFleur also "sings along": "Yeah, he’s playing really good football right now. That’s obviously important and it’s going to be important moving forward." And offensive coordinator Adam Stenavich praises the consistency: "I would say just the consistency that he’s had has been great... Just being a consistent, efficient quarterback is one thing that I’ve been really pleased with." But it's Packers defensive end Micah Parsons who "reveals" why Love deserves but is "overlooking" MVP: "I definitely think he deserves recognition... If you go off strength of schedule, how he's played and with him missing half his receivers, I think that goes unnoticed, too. Some of the things he did without (Christian Watson) early in the year, then (Jayden Reed), so this guy was missing two of his starting receivers majority of the year and they're just now getting back in these last eight weeks of the stretch, so I definitely think he deserves a lot more credit and I'm just happy I'm able to be a part of this journey with him." Currently, Matthew Stafford of the Rams leads the MVP race with -180 odds, 35 touchdown passes (far ahead of Dak Prescott with 26), passer rating 113.1, and only four interceptions. Drake Maye of the Patriots follows with +200, passer rating 111.9, 3,412 passing yards, and 23 touchdowns. Love, with a four-game winning streak (nine touchdowns, one interception, passer rating 112.1), could stage a comeback if he maintains "red-hot form" – especially in the upcoming two "epic" games: away at Denver (11-2) and Chicago (9-4). If the Packers leap to the NFC's No. 1 seed (likely needing a 4-0 finish), while the Rams stumble against Detroit (8-5) and Seattle (10-3), or the Patriots slip against Buffalo (9-4) and Baltimore (6-7), Love would have a shot at MVP. But with his "humble" attitude, does Love really want to "accept" that title? Or is he sacrificing personally to save the Packers from the "tough phase"? The 2025 NFL drama is "hotter than ever"! Do you think Love is "playing a trick" to motivate the team? Comment now and follow for the "shocking" outcome of the MVP race!
