The Facts: Kamara is on the NFL’s COVID-19 reserve list. He is eligible to return to the active roster before the Saints’ playoff game against the Bears — but only on game day, after isolating all week. QB Drew Brees is OK with that. “I think Alvin will be fine,” Brees said.

Diehards Line: Brees noted that Kamara’s situation isn’t all that different from other players who have played on Sundays without practicing all week, and that Kamara will be ready to go when the Saints need him on Sunday. ... Kamara had a historic game the last time he took the field, tying an NFL record by scoring six touchdowns in the Saints’ Christmas Day win over the Vikings. The Saints hope he can have another impact performance in the playoffs, even without a single day of practice.
