For the second straight week, the New Orleans Saints gave Alvin Kamara a day off to rest his lingering back injury.

And it sounds like that’ll be the case moving forward.

Asked whether the plan was for the running back to keep resting at least one day for the rest of the season, or until his back injury healed, coach Kellen Moore said Kamara was “trending” toward getting each Wednesday off. The Saints, like almost every team, give certain players scheduled days off. Jimmy Graham earned Wednesdays off under Dennis Allen, while Davon Godchaux — who was traded to Jacksonville on Monday — rested on Thursdays.

“There’s always been different maintenance programs for those guys,” Moore said. “It’s been trending towards Wednesday being a rest day for him. And then kind of letting him get into Thursday and Friday.”

Kamara joined running back C.J. Donaldson (shoulder) and center Erik McCoy (biceps) as DNPs for Wednesday’s practice.

There was also a lengthy list of limited participants: Tackle Kelvin Banks (ankle), guard David Edwards (knee), cornerback Martin Emerson (shin), running back Travis Etienne (hamstring), defensive tackle Christen Miller (knee) and tight end Noah Fant (back). Moore said Miller, who was a healthy scratch in Sunday’s win over the Cleveland Browns, got banged up in practice.

Though McCoy did not participate, the offensive line did watch practice from the side. Moore said earlier this week that McCoy will miss time, but isn’t expected to be out “long term.” McCoy missed 10 games last season because of a biceps injury.
