The Atlanta Falcons (1-2) need a win badly as they prepare for their first division game of the season. Sunday’s NFC South showdown against the New Orleans Saints (2-1) may not be in prime time, but it’s arguably the Falcons’ most important game yet.
While both teams are dealing with injuries along their offensive lines, the Saints have a few others to watch in Week 4. Running back Alvin Kamara (hip/ribs) and wide receiver Chris Olave (shoulder) were officially listed as questionable on the team’s final injury report.
According to a report from ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Kamara is “planning to play” in Sunday’s game.
Saints RB Alvin Kamara, listed as questionable for Sunday due to hip and rib injuries, is planning to play vs. the Falcons, per source.

Kamara has been a force this season, rushing for 285 yards and four touchdowns on 4.7 yards per attempt. The dual-threat running back has also added 10 catches for 132 receiving yards and a touchdown.
If Kamara can’t play on Sunday, the Saints would look to backup Jamaal Williams to lead the way on the ground. As for Olave, the third-year wideout is expected to be a game-time decision.
