Well, we now know there was nothing minor about Alvin Kamara's knee, and Payton now has a consistent history of understating player injuries...

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.

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.

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.
