METAIRIE, La. -- Alvin Kamara will be back at practice with the New Orleans Saints on Wednesday and the two sides will continue working toward a long-term contract extension, a source told ESPN's Jeremy Fowler.
According to the source, the two sides are not that far apart on a deal (Kamara is not seeking to match fellow running back Christian McCaffrey's $16 million per year). And things appear to have calmed down after a rift in the negotiations.
Kamara, who is heading into the final year of his rookie deal, was absent from practices and team activities for at least four days starting Friday.
