The Saints may have some key players marching their way back to the game day field for Week 14. According to NFL reporter Ian Rapoport, Alvin Kamara and Taysom Hill were full participants in the Saints practice on Wednesday. Rapoport also said that they are on track to play this Sunday.

Hill suffered a finger injury in the Saints' 27-17 loss to the Cowboys. Known as Mallet Finger, Hill was diagnosed with a torn tendon in his middle finger. While he is dealing with the same injury that forced Russell Wilson to miss game time earlier in the season, it isn't as serious. Unlike the Seahawks quarterback, Hill will not need surgery. He has decided to play through the injury, and seeing him as a full participant in Wednesday's practice is a positive sign for his recovery.
Kamara hasn't played since Week 9, when he suffered an MCL sprain in their loss to the Atlanta Falcons. The running back has missed the last four games for the Saints, but was limited at practices in Week 13. Now, there is a good possibility that Kamara could be playing on Sunday against the Jets.
Kamara is a key part of the Saints offense, recording 740 total offensive yards and seven touchdowns in eight games. Potentially having their star running back in the mix, the Saints could attempt to turn their season around as early as this Sunday.
