New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara has been listed as inactive and will not play Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers due to a rib injury.
But the Saints (1-0) have better news elsewhere on offense. New Orleans quarterback Jameis Winston (back) and running back Mark Ingram (ankle) are both active after being listed as questionable to play.
Winston was sharp for New Orleans in Week 1, throwing for 269 yards and two touchdowns in a 27-26 victory over the Atlanta Falcons, though he did get off to a slow start. The veteran was sacked four times, and he threw for just 24 yards in the first half before the Saints rallied.
Kamara and Ingram combined for 13 carries and 61 yards in the win. Kamara also had three receptions.
Last season, the Saints won both games against their division rivals, posting a 36-27 victory at home Oct. 31 and a 9-0 shutout in Tampa on Dec. 19.
