Olaf developed blood clots in his lungs and required hospitalization earlier this week. He was discharged from hospital on Thursday.
“Obviously, He is going to travel Here,” coach Kellen Moore said, via Luke Johnson of nola.com. “He’s got to go through a process. Chris was in great spirits throughout the entire process. “
Kamara has not practiced since injuring his knee against the Falcons in November. He played in a career-low 11 games and finished with 657 yards scrimmage, marking the first time in nine NFL seasons that he failed to reach 1,000 yards from scrimmage.
