Alvin Kamara pleads not guilty in battery case: What's next for Saints RB in 2023?

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara has reportedly pled not guilty in the battery case filed against him in Nevada.

A grand jury indicted the running back alongside former Bengals CB Chris Lammons and two others. The four were accused of allegedly beating a victim at a Las Vegas nightclub last year.

The incident reportedly occurred outside Drai’s Nightclub on the Vegas strip.

Each of the four people involved is currently facing charges of conspiracy to commit battery and battery resulting in substantial bodily harm, according to court documents.

Kamara was arrested just over a year ago on Feb. 6, 2022, right after suiting up in the Pro Bowl game at the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.

The NFL, meanwhile, is yet to take any action against Kamara or Lammons.

Kamara is expected to soon face disciplinary action from the league since the NFL would likely have been waiting for charges to be officially filed against the running back.
