Alvin Kamara is the only Saints’ RB to test positive this week; all the others have been deemed high-risk, close-contacts and are expected back this week, per source. Now the Saints face a RB issue like the one the Broncos had at QB when they played New Orleans. https://t.co/lOI3UGnwMy

The hits keep coming for the New Orleans Saints, who won’t have most of their running backs available for Sunday’s regular season finale with the Carolina Panthers. After Alvin Kamara tested positive for COVID-19, several players were ruled out as high-risk close contacts to him: Latavius Murray, Dwayne Washington, and fullback Michael Burton, as well as running backs coach Joel Thomas.
