The New Orleans Saints are managing injuries to several key offensive contributors as they prepare for their Week 13 contest against the Miami Dolphins on Sunday, November 30, 2025. The official injury report is expected to be released after practice, but Wednesday's report indicated limited or no participation for a few notable names.
The status of star running back Alvin Kamara is the most significant concern as the team deals with a thin running back position.
Here is a summary of the players listed on the Saints' Wednesday injury report for Week 13:
RB | Alvin Kamara | Knee/Ankle | Did Not Participate (DNP): Kamara reportedly missed the second half of the Week 12 game and is dealing with a sprained MCL. His ability to practice or play this week is critical.
WR | Chris Olave | Back | Limited Participation (LP): Olave, a top receiver, left Wednesday's practice early due to the back issue. His status bears watching as the week progresses.
T | Taliese Fuaga | Ankle | Limited Participation (LP): Fuaga has been nursing an ankle injury (reportedly a high-ankle sprain) that has kept him out of recent games. His limited return to practice offers a chance for a Week 13 return
RB | Devin Neal | Ankle | Limited Participation (LP): Neal stepped up to fill in for Kamara in Week 12. His ankle injury adds to the complexity of the backfield situation.
Coach Kellen Moore downplayed wide receiver Chris Olave's injury concern, describing it as "not a big deal" after the star player briefly limped off the field during Wednesday's practice. Olave was officially listed as limited on the practice report.
Meanwhile, running back Alvin Kamara's absence from practice was anticipated. Kamara sustained a knee injury early in the first quarter of last week's game against the Atlanta Falcons. Although he initially appeared ready to return, the veteran ultimately went to the locker room and did not finish the game.
Today's practice report will be crucial in determining the players' availability for Sunday. Any upgrade in practice status (from DNP to LP, or LP to FP - Full Participation) would be a positive sign. The team will also release a final injury designation (Out, Doubtful, or Questionable) on Friday.
The potential absences or limitations of key offensive players like Kamara and Olave could significantly challenge the Saints' ability to move the ball against the Dolphins defense.
