New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (hip/ribs) and wide receiver Chris Olave (hamstring) are both expected to play versus the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported. Kamara and Olave are officially active.
Kamara popped up on the injury report for the first time this season, missing Wednesday’s practice due to the injuries. He was upgraded to limited participation the next two days and had a questionable designation going into the weekend, but ultimately the pair of injuries will not keep him off the field in Atlanta.
Kamara got off to a hot start to the season as a key piece of the Saints’ initial offensive explosion, currently ranking fourth in the league in rush yards with 285. He had 115 yards and three touchdowns on the ground in New Orleans’ dominating Week 2 win over the Cowboys.
Olave had joined Kamara as questionable after injuring his hamstring during Friday’s practice, and now will also join Kamara in being available for this Week 4 matchup against an NFC South foe.
So far this season, Olave has 12 catches for 178 yards, both team highs, and had 81 and 86 yards the last two weeks, respectively.
New Orleans (2-1) and Atlanta (1-2) kick off at 1 p.m. ET on Sunday.
