Saints' Mark Ingram (knee) turns in back-to-back full practices

New Orleans Saints running back Mark Ingram (knee) practiced in full again on Tuesday for Week 13 against the Dallas Cowboys on Thursday night.

What It Means:

Ingram is trending toward a return after sitting out Week 12 with a knee issue. Alvin Kamara (knee) has also turned in back-to-back practices after missing the last three games, but he has been limited and may not be ready for a full workload by Thursday night.

Ingram averaged 22.5 combined carries and targets in the two games he started in place of Kamara. In the two games both backs were active, Ingram averaged 11.0 opportunities. The Cowboys have the No. 23 run defense in numberFire's season-long power rankings.
