New Orleans Saints

Alvin Kamara

RB

Kamara now has logged back-to-back capped practices to begin Week 7 prep as he deals with a back concern for a third consecutive week. He's been able to play through it, but his snap shares in Week 5 (27 percent) and Week 6 (26 percent) didn't equate to much work (14 touches for 75 yards from scrimmage and one receiving TD). Friday's injury report will unveil whether or not Kamara enters the weekend with a designation for Sunday's contest versus the Steelers in Paris.

Quincy Riley

CB

Riley began the week as a full participant in Wednesday's practice after exiting early in Week 6 with a neck injury. His unrestricted availability suggests he will be back in his starting spot Sunday for Week 7.

Kool-Aid McKinstry

CB

McKinstry left the team's 34-27 win over the Giants in Week 6 with a migraine, but he is now back to full health ahead of Week 7. The 24-year-old will be tasked with trying to slow down DK Metcalf and Germie Bernard in Sunday's matchup with the Steelers in Paris.

Kaden Elliss

LB

Elliss has been sidelined for the Saints' past three games due to a calf injury, but it now seems there's been some progress in his recovery, and he might have a chance to return to game action in Week 7. He'll still probably have to log a full practice Thursday or Friday to avoid taking an injury designation into the weekend.

CJ Donaldson

RB

Donaldson upgraded to full participation Thursday while Alvin Kamara (back) was limited for a second consecutive practice. Heading into Sunday's overseas showdown against the Steelers, Donaldson has been working as the Saints' third option in the backfield behind Kamara and Kendre Miller while Travis Etienne (hamstring) is on IR. Donaldson has accumulated 82 scrimmage yards on 16 touches over the past three games.
