New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara will officially not play this afternoon against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Kamara will miss his third straight game with a groin injury suffered in Week 15 against Washington.

For much of this New Orleans Saints season, running back Alvin Kamara was doing what he normally does by being a shining beacon through a disappointing campaign. Kamara has been dealing with a groin injury for the past couple of weeks, though, not playing since partway through the matchup against the Washington Commanders in Week 15.

Saints released the final injury report ahead of Week 17 matchup against the Raiders, with a Derek Carr and Alvin Kamara addition.
