There's not much expected out of the New Orleans Saints' coming game against the Atlanta Falcons other than them running away with the victory. The return of Alvin Kamara should help the team achieve its goals of convincingly winning over the Falcons.
Ian Rapoport reported that one of the team's top runners should be able to suit up against the Falcons this Sunday, Sean Payton announced. This is great news for Saints fans as they want to assert their dominance in the NFC South.
#Saints coach Sean Payton tells reporters that he expects RB Alvin Kamara (knee, ankle) to play on Sunday against the #Falcons. The bye week did him some good.

Kamara was kept out of Payton's squad over the past two games due to injuries on his ankle and knee. The Saints' bye week gave him more than enough time to recuperate and be back in playing form. If he manages to get back to top shape, there's no reason he shouldn't perform to the standards that is expected of him.
Kamara has been a reliable playmaker for the Saints during the six games he's been available. He has notched 373 rushing yards and a touchdown on 83 carries. He also has safe hands as he's caught for 276 yards and a receiving touchdown.
There were initial concerns about Kamara's condition after he left the Jacksonville game injured. However, fans who saw him dance during Halloween knew that their young running back was going to be more than just fine.
Of course, there's no need for the Saints to rush him back to the game. They have been doing just fine, overwhelming the Chicago Bears and Arizona Cardinals on the run. However, having Kamara back on the fold should only make an already-dangerous squad even harder to stop.
