INJURY UPDATE: RB Alvin Kamara Suffers Serious Injury After Intentional Foul by Atlanta Falcons Star – Viral Video Has Sparked an Outburst of Fury from the Saints Community
New Orleans, Louisiana. 24/11/2025
The New Orleans Saints didn’t just lose 24–10 to the Atlanta Falcons. They also witnessed one of the most infuriating moments of the season when Alvin Kamara exited the game following a collision that virtually every Saints fan believes could not have been accidental.
The play unfolded along the right sideline as Kamara tried to break free from the initial tackle. Linebacker Kaden Elliss suddenly changed direction and drove straight into the outside of Kamara’s knee with significant force. Slow-motion angles that spread online immediately after the game showed Elliss targeting a vulnerable area — prompting fans, players, and analysts to label it a deliberate cheap shot.
Kamara collapsed instantly, clutching his knee, and needed assistance to get off the field. He entered the medical tent three separate times before ultimately being ruled out. The Saints later confirmed he suffered a significant MCL injury, with an MRI scheduled in the next 24 hours to determine the severity.
The hit’s video quickly amassed millions of views on X (Twitter), sparking a wave of fury across the Saints community. Thousands demanded that the NFL issue a harsh penalty on Elliss, calling the play “the cheapest hit of the season.”
Inside the locker room, Kamara didn’t hide his frustration and concern as he described the moment:
“I felt the hit the second he changed direction and I knew immediately it wasn’t a normal football play. When my knee bent in a way no player ever wants to feel, all I could do was ask myself why it had to happen like that. A hit like that can take away an entire season and sometimes even more.”
Without Kamara, the Saints’ offense collapsed:
– No offensive touchdowns
– Only 79 rushing yards
– Tyler Shough sacked 5 times under constant pressure
Head coach Kellen Moore avoided directly attacking Elliss but confirmed the Saints will file formal documentation to the NFL requesting a full review of the play.
The Falcons declined to comment.
New Orleans lost a game, but what angers them far more is the belief that Alvin Kamara was targeted on a deliberate, dangerous hit. Now, the entire city waits anxiously for the MRI results — results that could determine the fate of the Saints’ season.
