Mark Ingram out for Saints 3-4 weeks with Grade 2 MCL sprain
New Orleans Saints running back Mark Ingram suffered a grade 2 MCL sprain in Sunday's Week 8 win over the Las Vegas Raiders, reports Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.
Ingram, who exited after only five snaps on Sunday, is facing a 3-4 week absence. Taysom Hill rushed a season-high 10 times for 61 yards and Dwayne Washington was given four carries, but Alvin Kamara racked up 18 rushes and 10 targets on his way to a three-touchdown performance. Hill and Washington will likely split the backup carries while Ingram is out. The Saints' next game is at home versus the Baltimore Ravens on Monday night in Week 9.
Ingram averaged 8.9 targets per game and recorded a 32.3% offensive snap share in Weeks 1-6. Hill out-snapped Washington 23-13 on Sunday.
