What happened: The New Orleans Saints shared a solitary "41" on social media Monday, referencing Alvin Kamara's jersey number. The post comes one day before the team opens its mandatory minicamp on June 16, following the running back's absence from most voluntary OTAs.

Why it matters: Kamara's role and future in New Orleans have been a major storyline this offseason, amplified by the free-agent signing of Travis Etienne Jr. and persistent trade rumors. The team's public highlight of his number indicates they expect him to report and participate in the upcoming mandatory activities.

What to watch: Minicamp opens Tuesday, providing clarity on Kamara's attendance and the first look at the newly formed backfield dynamic for the 2026 season.
