Alvin Kamara, Rashid Shaheed playing today status unsure for Saints’ last game before trade deadline image

The New Orleans Saints are widely anticipated to be active sellers during the NFL's trade deadline, scheduled for Tuesday.

First, they've got to get through Sunday's game, and they've got question marks with injuries for a couple of the guys that also might be trade candidates.

Alvin Kamara and Rashid Shaheed both enter Week 9 as questionable to take on the Los Angeles Rams.

The Saints are just 1-7, while the Rams are 5-2. It already looks like a mismatch, and if the two stars were to miss out, it could be even worse.

Will Alvin Kamara be in the lineup for today's game?

Alvin Kamara is "expected to play" on Sunday, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

He's dealing with an ankle injury.

If Kamara is limited or out, it would mean more work for Kendre Miller.

Will Rashid Shaheed be in the lineup today?

Rashid Shaheed is also "expected to play" on Sunday, according to Rapoport.

He's been managing a hip issue.

Chris Olave and Juwan Johnson are expected to be key targets in the Saints' passing offense, alongside Shaheed, regardless of his availability. But adding his deep speed is a nice element to have.
