Santos RB Alvin Kamara (joelho / tornozelo) fora vs.

TheNew Orleans Saintswill be without their top offensive weapon versus theBears.

Running backAlvin Kamara, who’s been battling knee and ankle injuries the past two weeks, has been ruled out for Sunday’s game in Chicago. The third-year dynamo didn’t practice all week and will miss just the second game of his career.

He initially aggravated his ankle during practice last week but played versus theJaguars. His 11 carries and 31 rushing yards were both season lows, though he did catch seven passes for 35 yards. He’s averaging 4.3 yards a carry and 108.1 yards from scrimmage per game this season but has scored just two touchdowns.

You can expect a greater load for backupLatavius Murray, who collected a season-high 44 rushing yards last week on just eight carries.

TheSaints, of course, are still withoutDrew Brees, who’s begun throwing on the side. Tight endJared Cookwill also be sidelined for Week 7 with an ankle injury.
