Saints activate Thomas, Kamara ahead of wild-card game

The New Orleans Saints activated Michael Thomas and Alvin Kamara ahead of Sunday's game against the Chicago Bears.

Thomas has been hampered by an ankle injury throughout the year and is set to play for the first time since Week 14.

He dressed for only seven games and hauled in 40 receptions for 438 yards and zero touchdowns.

The Saints placed Kamara on the reserve/COVID-19 list after he tested positive prior to Week 17.

Kamara led the Saints with 932 rushing yards and 16 touchdowns, to go along with 756 receiving yards and five touchdown receptions.

The Saints will have all of their running backs for Sunday's wild-card showdown after activating Latavius Murray, Dwayne Washington, and fullback Michael Burton from the COVID-19 list on Wednesday.
