Still sans Drew Brees, at least the New Orleans Saints will have running back Alvin Kamara against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday.
Kamara tweaked his ankle this week and missed practice on Friday, but is active for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.
In five games this season, the 24-year-old back out of Tennessee has 583 yards from scrimmage and scored two touchdowns.
Other injury news we are keeping an eye on ahead of Sunday's Week 6 games:
- The Arizona Cardinals have been optimistic all week that running back David Johnson (back) can play against the Atlanta Falcons, and that remains the case Sunday morning, barring a setback, per Rapoport.
- Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill was cleared from his sternoclavicular joint injury Friday and is active against the Houston Texans. However, Chiefs receiver Sammy Watkins (hamstring) is inactive.
- Los Angeles Chargers tight end Hunter Henry (knee) was a full participant in practice on Friday and is trending toward returning to the field Sunday night against the Pittsburgh Steelers, a source tells Rapoport.
- Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Marquise Brown (ankle) did not practice this week and is inactive against the Cincinnati Bengals. He has been one of the team's top offensive weapons and the team had hoped he would be a game-time call.
- Houston Texans wide receiver Kenny Stills (hamstring) was pushing to play against the Chiefs but is inactive and will not play.
Cornerback Johnathan Joseph (hamstring) will only miss this week, NFL Network's James Palmer reports. Joseph suffered the injury in practice Thursday and MRI results revealed it was a Grade 1 strain.
- The Dallas Cowboys won't have starting right tackle La'el Collins (MCL) against the New York Jets, and there is a slight chance that left tackle Tyron Smith (ankle) plays, sources tell Rapoport. Wide receiver Randall Cobb (hip, back) will work out before the game to see if he can go.
