New Orleans Saints running back met with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell earlier this week and we are now learning that Kamara will be disciplined for his role in a fight outside a Las Vegas nightclub in February 2022.
According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the NFL has suspended Alvin Kamara for three games for the incident. Schefter adds that Colts’ CB Chris Lammons, who was involved in the same incident with Kamara, is also being suspended for three games:
Kamara was one of four men, including Colts cornerback Chris Lammons, who initially faced a felony charge of battery with substantial bodily harm and a misdemeanor charge of conspiracy to commit battery.
However, Kamara’s July plea agreement means he is now facing a misdemeanor charge of breach of peace, 30 hours of community service and $105,000 in medical bills for the man injured in the fight.
Kamara also settled the civil case he was facing stemming from the altercation, part of which had footage that was made public.
The Saints start the season with a matchup against the AFC’s Tennessee Titans on Sept. 10, but play a divisional foe in the Carolina Panthers in Week 2. In Week 3, they will face the Green Bay Packers. Kamara will miss all those games.
