New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara will be available for Sunday's game against the Baltimore Ravens after missing last week's season-opening loss with a knee injury.

Kamara cleared the Saints' final injury report Friday with no designation after being a full participant in practice this week.

The five-time Pro Bowler sprained his MCL during a joint practice with the Dallas Cowboys in mid-August.

Kamara said Thursday that he has "no limitations" and that his knee feels good, according to ESPN's Katherine Terrell.

"Alvin is going to play a really valuable role this week," head coach Kellen Moore said Friday.

The Saints used a running-back-by-committee approach in Kamara's absence last week, with Travis Etienne Jr. and Kendre Miller each getting nine carries against the Detroit Lions.

Kamara's streak of 1,000-plus scrimmage yards ended in 2025 when he posted 657 yards.

Wide receiver Chris Olave is questionable for Sunday with a hamstring issue. Edge rusher Chase Young is also questionable this week with a calf injury.
