Fantasy Impact: Kamara left Tuesday’s practice with a knee injury, and now that the diagnosis has come in, expect him to start off the season slow. He’ll likely have a ramp up period once he returns. While he is out, Devin Neal and Kendre Miller will fight for the primary backup spot behind Travis Etienne.
