A source told Jeremy Fowler that the NFL is keeping a close eye on all legal developments, including the Aug. 1 court date.

According to sources, the door is open for the New Orleans Saints running back to play Week 1 if he is placed on paid leave.

According to sources in the league, there is a feeling that he could be suspended, but nothing is certain.

David Johnson is one of the running backs that the Saints have looked into.

During the Pro Bowl weekend in Las Vegas, Kamara was arrested on felony battery charges.

Attorneys have asked for more time to review evidence, which has led to the postponement of the August 1 hearing.

According to police, video evidence shows Kamara put his hand on the alleged victim's chest to prevent him from stepping into the elevator. Chris Lammons punched the man after he pushed Kamara's hand away.

The man fell unconscious on the floor and the defendants stomped on him, leaving him with injuries to his head, knees and arms.

He was in the Pro Bowl.
