Alvin Kamara, Both Saints Tackles Ruled Out For Thursday Night Football

New Orleans will reportedly be without star running back Alvin Kamara and both of their starting tackles against the Cowboys tonight. Kamara will miss his fourth game after suffering a left knee MCL sprain Week 9 against the Falcons. Kamara finished the game against Atlanta and was limited in practice all week, but is surprisingly inactive. At this point, we eagerly await to see what the real story is. Right now, it appears the team wants him to be 100% healthy before bringing him back and they do have a suitable replacement in Mark Ingram, who will start after missing last week with an unknown knee injury. Tony Jones Jr. will also be in the mix for touches in the backfield. 

Left guard Terron Armstead and right guard Ryan Ramczyk will both miss their third consecutive game with knee injuries. James Hurst will fill in at right tackle and likely face Cowboys star pass rusher DeMarcus Lawrence, who is expected to be activated off IR for the game. The Saints offensive SIC health score has been under 50 for the past three weeks and we don't expect much offensively from them with Taysom Hill getting his fifth career start at quarterback.
