Alvin Kamara could well play in Week One of 2022 NFL season

Earlier this offseason, New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara was arrested on felony battery charges following an incident at a Las Vegas casino during Pro Bowl weekend. However, according to NFL insider Jeremy Fowler, the league is yet to make a decision on a suspension.

Fowler said that there is no set time frame timeframe for the punishment under the league's personal conduct policy.

"Any time you change QBs from a Hall of Famer to a Hall of Famer, it’s going to be a little bit of an adjustment."
