And that's unfortunate.

All the reports I was reading pointed to the "ankle". Just glad AK is back to himself for 2020 & we also have a capable back #2 in L Train.

Re: 2020 New Orleans Saints Training Camp
 

As do most NFL coaches if you haven't noticed. Why share information that you are not absolutely required to share? That would be counter-productive as a coach, no? I'll circle back around to arguably the greatest coach, undeniably the most successful, in NFL history, Bill Belechick. He makes Payton look like an open book when it comes to information. Things like severity on injuries should only be shared on a need to know basis and, regardless of how irritating, we as fans have no "need" to know. "Want" to know, yes. "Need" to know, no.

Re: 2020 New Orleans Saints Training Camp
 

I'm surprised they even let us know after the fact. But, if I recall, that information came from the Kamara camp, not the Saints themselves.

Once again, you are wishing for something that does not exist in the real world. No NFL coach divulges more than they can get away with. It doesn't matter that it isn't right. It is the way things are and there is nothing you or anyone else can do to change that fact.

Oh, by the way, Kamara's knee WAS reported on the injury report ...

The New Orleans Saints will host the Atlanta Falcons in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome on Sunday in a Week 10 NFC South matchup. This will be the first matchup of the season for the two bitter rivals.

The initial injury reports published by the Saints and the Jaguars on Wednesday are the initial reports for the week. A second, updated report will be released on Thursday. The final injury report with game status for certain players will be issued on Friday. Daily changes in practice participation are noted in bold text.

Running back Alvin Kamara has been absent from the lineup after injuring his ankle (during practice in Week 5) and then his knee (against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 6). After two games of rest, and the bye week, Kamara should be ready to go. Tight end Jared Cook will be another playmaker to keep tabs on as the week progresses. Cook has been absent for the last two games the Saints have played, and should return to the lineup on Sunday.

From the Saints

TE Jared Cook (Ankle) Full
WR Tre’Quan Smith (Ankle) Full
QB Drew Brees (Rt. Thumb) Full
CB Patrick Robinson (Hamstring) Limited
RB Alvin Kamara (Knee/Ankle) Limited
TE Josh Hill (Calf) Limited

From the Falcons

RB Ito Smith (Neck) Did not participate
DE John Cominsky (Ankle) Did not participate
G James Carpenter (Knee) Limited
QB Matt Ryan (Ankle) Limited
CB Desmond Trufant (Toe) Limited
G Jamon Brown (Foot) Limited
G Wes Schweitzer (Head) Limited
TE Jaden Graham (Knee) Limited

Re: 2020 New Orleans Saints Training Camp
 

Not to massively shock anyone, but the normally healthy Marcus Davenport has missed 5 straight days of practice.

Along with Kamara, Zach Baun, Cesar Ruiz and Malcolm Jenkins.

Payton refused to comment on why they have not been present.

Re: 2020 New Orleans Saints Training Camp
 

Jenkins is probably leading a protest in Kenosha.

Re: 2020 New Orleans Saints Training Camp
 

That's an awfully long list. Marcus Davenport is on this list. That's a shocker.
Just sayin'.

Re: 2020 New Orleans Saints Training Camp
 

5 straight days :confused:

What's his issue now?
