Saints rule Kamara, Armstead, Gardner-Johnson out for Titans game

The New Orleans Saints ruled out Alvin Kamara (knee injury) for Sunday’s game against the Tennessee Titans.

The Pro Bowl running back has missed practice all week with the injury suffered last weekend against the Falcons.

The Saints will also be without tackle Terron Armstead (knee/shoulder) and C.J. Gardner-Johnson (foot).

Mark Ingram will take on the role as primary ball carrier in Nashville while Ty Montgomery and Dwayne Washington could also factor into the rotation among those options on the active roster. Montgomery (hamstring) was limited in practice this week and labeled questionable to play Sunday.

Kamara has 530 yards rushing and 310 yards receiving with seven total touchdowns in 2021.

James Hurst will likely replace Armstead at left tackle while Bradley Roby will see more snaps at cornerback as the Saints look to fill the void left by Gardner-Johnson at nickel.

Tennessee listed three players on defense as out this week including starting inside linebacker David Long as well as reserve defensive backs Dane Cruikshank and Greg Mabin.
