New Orleans Saints running back appeared to have punched a man multiple times during an altercation at a Las Vegas hotel in February. It was the reason why he was arrested after the Pro Bowl in Las Vegas.
A video obtained by TMZ Sports shows a man believed to be Kamara striking a male as the people he was with jump him afterward. According to a lawsuit filed by Darnell Greene, the altercation happened after an argument between him and Kamara outside of an elevator at the Cromwell Las Vegas Hotel and Casino.
Despite the video, the NFL has no plans of changing Kamara’s status.
“The NFL has not previously placed running back Alvin Kamara on paid leave, even though he’s facing felony battery charges in Nevada. Saturday’s development hasn’t changed that position.
A league spokesman told PFT on Saturday that the new video from TMZ.com that purports to show the attack, with Kamara engaged in it, will not change Kamara’s status,” Mike Florio reported on Sunday.
The victim in the case claims he had been attempting to get on the elevator with Kamara and his associates. He goes on to accuse the New Orleans Saints player of preventing him from entering the elevator by “throwing his arm across Greene’s chest.”

The newly obtained footage shows Kamara hitting a man several times and the man falling to the ground as others punch and stomp him out.
According to the Greene’s October lawsuit, he suffered injuries to the neck, back, head, shoulder and knees, and a “disfiguring facial fracture” to an orbital bone.
Greene is seeking compensatory and punitive damages of no less than $10 million.
