Saints running back Alvin Kamara is expected to miss at least a month — reports put the range at four to six weeks — with a sprained MCL suffered during Tuesday’s joint practice with the Dallas Cowboys. Initial tests confirmed he avoided a season-ending injury and no ligaments were torn, but the timeline puts his availability for New Orleans’ Week 1 trip to Detroit on Sept. 13 in serious jeopardy and makes him a candidate to open the year on injured reserve, which would sideline him for at least the first four games. The news reshapes the Saints backfield picture heading into the final weeks of fantasy draft season. (source: ESPN, TSN, NFLTradeRumors, Draft Sharks)
