METAIRIE, La. -- New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara returned to practice Wednesday after what a source described as an unexcused four-day absence that was believed to be contract-related.
And though a source told ESPN's Jeremy Fowler that Kamara was also receiving treatment on his back during that missed time, he participated fully in Wednesday's practice.
"We're actively negotiating a contract with him and his agent, and we'll keep you posted if there's any progress," said Saints coach Sean Payton, who declined to specify if Kamara was absent from all team activities or if he will be fined for the absence.
