The New Orleans Saints were missing an important piece of their offense during Friday’s training session: running back Alvin Kamara, who was absent while waiting on results for a COVID-19 test. Kamara previously tested positive before receiving a second test, per Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football. Underhill added that Kamara has not yet exhibited any symptoms of an infection. NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero confirmed the news.

This is significant for a number of reasons, though the most important is obviously Kamara’s health and well-being.
