They could be without one of their best players for the NFC South showdown, too. Alvin Kamara left their Week 17 with a sprained ankle. He has not practiced this week.
Dennis Allen says that Kamara is officially a game-time decision for the Saints.
Allen mentions that Kamara is so valuable to the team that the cannot rush a decision. They would not want to rule him out on Friday, then see that he has made legitimate improvement by Sunday.
New Orleans really does need Kamara on the field. Jamaal Williams has been inconsistent in pass protection and on the ground. Taysom Hill's role has shifted a bit to more of a receiving-heavy one since he sustained a couple of injuries.

Keep an eye on Kamara's status on Sunday morning. He's the main injury to watch for the Saints.
