METAIRIE, La. -- New Orleans Saints coach Kellen Moore said he "feels good" about Alvin Kamara's chance of playing Sunday against the Baltimore Ravens.
Kamara sprained his MCL on Aug. 18 in a joint practice with the Dallas Cowboys, an injury that was expected to keep him out for a month. But Kamara returned to practice last week, and Moore said he could have played in the Saints' Week 1 loss to the Detroit Lions.
He was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.
"I think it was just a matter of time on task, getting a full week's work," Moore said. "I though he did an amazing job to put himself in a position last week to practice really well. And so he's in a great place."
The status of defensive end Cameron Jordan for Sunday's game is less certain, according to Moore. Jordan has been out because of a hamstring injury since Aug. 6, and did not return to practice until Friday.
He was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
"We'll see what happens," Moore said of Jordan.
The Saints rushed for only 91 yards as a team in a 31-30 loss to the Lions. Newcomer Travis Etienne Jr. carried the ball nine times for 46 yards and also caught seven passes for 32 yards. Kamara also probably would be part of the passing game if he plays.
"He's a difference-maker at every position, to be honest," Saints quarterback Tyler Shough said of Kamara. "His physicality, his speed, his one-cut ability, his presence, just in the huddle, just from just all that stuff. He's got the experience and then they have to respect all that stuff.
"It'll be good to have him back potentially, and we'll see how we go."
Tight end Juwan Johnson did not practice Wednesday because of an illness. Rookie tight end Oscar Delp (hamstring) returned to practice for the first time in several weeks.
