Kamara has reportedly cleared concussion protocol and is on course to suit up Sunday at home against the New York Jets.
The rookie running back sensation departed last Thursday’s game early in the first quarter after being diagnosed with a concussion. New Orleans wound up falling to the Atlanta Falcons, 20-17.
The team having Kamara back in the lineup as the Saints aim for win No. 10 is great news.
Kamara is easily on pace to contend for Offensive Rookie of the Year honors with 1,247 total yards and 11 touchdowns on record thus far.
