The New Orleans Saints travel to Green Bay to face the Packers in a Week 16 matchup with key storylines surrounding injuries to Kamara and the potential return of Derek Carr.
The Saints (5-9) have a bonus day this week as they travel to Green Bay to face the Packers (10-4). Their Monday night matchup will conclude NFL Week 16 action.

While a playoff spot is definitely out of the question, they can at least play spoilers for the rest of the season.

Kamara got hurt on his incredible acrobatic touchdown grab and is reportedly dealing with a groin adductor. The Saints placed Clyde Edwards-Helaire on their practice squad on Wednesday as some insurance. Kendre Miller could potentially have a more prominent role on Monday night if Kamara can't play, while Jamaal Williams and Jordan Mims would be the other running backs available.
