Devin Neal<\/b> is cleared to start Sunday against the Miami Dolphins<\/b> in Week 13 of the 2025 NFL season. The rookie running back<\/b> takes the lead role after star veteran Alvin Kamara<\/b> was ruled out with a knee injury. This marks a crucial opportunity for the sixth-round pick<\/b> from Kansas<\/b> to prove he can handle the primary workload.<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udd25 Quick Facts<\/h3>\n
    \n
  • Devin Neal<\/b> cleared to start for Saints in Week 13 against Miami<\/li>\n
  • Alvin Kamara<\/b> ruled out with sprained MCL suffered in Week 12 against Atlanta<\/li>\n
  • Saints are 2-9<\/b> on the season; Dolphins are 4-7<\/b> heading into Thanksgiving week matchup<\/li>\n
  • Game kicks off Sunday November 30, 2025 at 12 p.m. EST<\/b> at Hard Rock Stadium<\/b> in Miami<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n

    Rookie Running Back Gets Unexpected Opportunity<\/h2>\n

    Devin Neal<\/b> was drafted by New Orleans in the sixth round<\/b> (184th overall pick) of the 2025 NFL Draft from the University of Kansas<\/b>. The 22-year-old entered Week 13 as the backup, but an injury to Alvin Kamara<\/b> suddenly thrust him into the spotlight as the Saints’ lead back.<\/p>\n

    Neal had already earned increased snaps in recent weeks after Kendre Miller<\/b> suffered a season-ending ACL injury in October. Against the Falcons<\/b> in Week 12, the rookie recorded seven carries for 18 yards and five receptions for 43 yards, showing his value in both rushing and receiving roles.<\/p>\n

    Despite dealing with an ankle issue<\/b> during the week, Neal practiced and was ultimately cleared without an injury designation entering Sunday’s matchup.<\/p>\n

    Kamara’s Knee Injury Opens Door for Saints Backfield<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\n
    Running Back<\/td>\nStatus Week 13<\/td>\nInjury<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
    Alvin Kamara<\/b><\/td>\nOut<\/td>\nKnee\/Ankle (sprained MCL)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
    Devin Neal<\/b><\/td>\nActive\/Starting<\/td>\nAnkle (cleared)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
    Audric Estime<\/b><\/td>\nActive<\/td>\nNone<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

    Kamara<\/b> exited the Saints’ Week 12 loss to the Falcons in the first quarter<\/b> after his knee bent awkwardly on a tackle. The nine-year veteran did not return and has been sidelined all week, missing all practice sessions through Friday.<\/p>\n

    Saints head coach Kellen Moore<\/b> made it official: Kamara<\/b> is out Sunday and won’t be placed on injured reserve, suggesting the team expects him back sooner rather than later. This moves Neal<\/b> into the starting lineup for what could be a significant performance opportunity.<\/p>\n

    Saints Face Difficult Test in Miami with Defensive Concerns<\/h2>\n

    Meanwhile, the Dolphins<\/b> are coming off their bye week and playing at home, where they’ve been competitive. Miami<\/b> sits at 4-7 but has won three of their last four games heading into this matchup.<\/p>\n

    The Saints<\/b>, ranked among the league’s worst at 2-9, must navigate a path through Miami’s<\/b> defense led by pass-rusher Jalen Phillips<\/b> and secondary depth. New Orleans<\/b> will rely on Tyler Shough<\/b> at quarterback, putting pressure on the running game to establish rhythm early.<\/p>\n

    Defensively, the Saints rank in the middle of the pack against team rushing attacks, a potential concern if De’Von Achane<\/b> and the Dolphins’ explosive run game attack.<\/p>\n

    Neal’s Performance Could Define Saints Backfield Going Forward<\/h2>\n

    This Week 13 contest represents a critical moment for Neal’s<\/b> development. The Kansas<\/b> product brings a complete skill set with solid explosivity and the ability to catch passes out of the backfield.<\/p>\n

    In his limited action this season, Neal<\/b> has demonstrated reliable hands and patience running between the tackles. How he performs against Miami’s<\/b> defense\u2014particularly in short-yardage situations and receiving scenarios\u2014will influence his role for the remainder of the season and potentially beyond.<\/p>\n

    Saints offensive coordinator and head coach Moore<\/b> believes in Neal’s<\/b> potential, describing him as “really intelligent” and well-prepared for this moment despite the unexpected nature of his opportunity.<\/p>\n

    Will Devin Neal seize his breakout opportunity against the Dolphins this Sunday?<\/h2>\n

    The stage is set for Neal<\/b> to make a significant impact in Week 13. With Kamara<\/b> sidelined and the Saints desperate for production from their offensive skill players, the rookie must deliver.<\/p>\n

    A strong performance could solidify his role as a featured player going forward, while a disappointing showing might open the door for other candidates. Sunday at Hard Rock Stadium<\/b> will provide valuable insight into whether Neal<\/b> can handle a larger workload and help the Saints<\/b> improve their struggling 2-9 record.<\/p>\n
