Alvin Kamara, New Orleans Saints
Amie Just of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports Alvin Kamara (knee) did not participate in Thursday’s practice. Kamara was downgraded from an LP on Wednesday. This could be the Saints managing his reps, but it also could be due to a setback.

Ricky Seals-Jones, Washington Football Team

With Seals-Jones a Thursday DNP as well, Washington may have to heavily rely on John Bates and Sammis Reyes at tight end.
