Kendre Miller - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Finds end zone in Week 1 loss Miller turned nine carries into 30 yards and a touchdown while adding a 19-yard kickoff return during the Saints' 31-30 overtime loss to the Lions on Sunday.

Impact The Saints were kept off the board in the first half, but Miller helped get New Orleans on the board in the third quarter with an eight-yard touchdown run. In the absence of Alvin Kamara (knee), Miller played 29 of 90 offensive snaps (32.2 percent) and operated as the Saints' RB2 behind Travis Etienne (53 offensive snaps). Miller's role on offense would decrease drastically if Kamara was cleared to play against the Ravens in Week 2.

Only dealing with minor issue Miller is believed to have sustained only a minor injury at Tuesday's practice, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

Impact It's still not clear what type of injury Miller is dealing with, but it appears he avoided any sort of serious setback. It remains to be seen exactly how the backfield behind starter Travis Etienne will look in 1, but Miller has a chance to factor into the mix as long as he's available.

Exits practice Tuesday Miller exited Tuesday's practice alongside trainers with an apparent injury, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.

Impact There's been no indication Miller is dealing with a serious injury, but his departure leaves just Audric Estime as the lone healthy running back behind Travis Etienne, as Alvin Kamara is still recovering from a sprained MCL in his knee. A third-round pick in 2023, Miller has appeared in just 21 career regular-season games, rushing 127 times for 497 yards (3.9 YPC) and three touchdowns.

Gets 10 touches in preseason finale Miller rushed nine times for 42 yards and caught his only target for 15 yards in Friday's 27-24 preseason win over the Cowboys.

Impact Miller finished four rushing yards shy of Audric Estime's team lead, while recent trade acquisition Zamir White was the only Saints running back to score a touchdown. At least two of these three running backs are expected to make the 53-man roster behind Travis Etienne while Alvin Kamara (knee) is unavailable. Miller has a chance to be Etienne's primary backup while Kamara is on the shelf, though Miller is far from guaranteed to stay healthy himself considering injuries have limited the 2023 third-round pick to just 21 regular-season appearances through three seasons.

Impact Travis Etienne joined Alvin Kamara (knee) and Audric Estime (ankle) on the sidelines for Saturday's contest, with Miller being named the starting running back. Miller led all Saints running backs in rushing yards, though the only carry he had that went for 10-plus yards late in the first quarter was nullified by a holding penalty. Devin Neal left Saturday's contest due to a hamstring injury, and coupled with Estime's ankle issue, that puts Miller in a good position to secure his spot on the Saints' 53-man roster as the team's RB3 behind Etienne and Kamara. The Saints wrap up the preseason Friday on the road against the Cowboys.

Returns to practice, competing for snaps Miller (back) and Devin Neal (hamstring) returned to practice Tuesday, while teammate Alvin Kamara (knee) is expected to be out for more than a month, per Adam Schefter of ESPN.

Impact With Audric Estime (ankle) also banged up, Miller and Neal might even end up competing for the No. 2 RB job in Week 1. Such a scenario would be favorable for Travis Etienne's workload projection, as opposed to losing a chunk of the targets (and some carries) to a healthy Kamara. Before all the injuries, Miller was positioned to compete with Neal and Estime for the No. 3 RB job.

Not playing Saturday Miller (back) will not play in Saturday's preseason game against the Jaguars, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

Impact Miller has been limited in his practice participation due to a back issue. He'll be sidelined for Saturday's preseason opener and will aim to be available for the Saints' second exhibition game on Saturday, Aug. 22 against the Rams. Devin Neal (hamstring) is also sidelined, opening up more rotational backfield reps for Ty Chandler, Audric Estime and CJ Donaldson.

Absent from practice Miller (back) did not participate at the Saints' training camp practice Thursday, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Miller was able to log a limited session Wednesday, but he took a step back Thursday, ultimately spending the day on the sidelines as he continues to nurse a back injury. Head coach Kellen Moore described the running back as "day-to-day" ahead of Friday's practice session.

AUGUST 6 • ROTOWIRE

Limited with back issue Miller (back) was limited in Wednesday's training camp session due to injury, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Miller has transitioned from one injury to another, cleansing himself of injury designation for his 2025 torn ACL only to suffer a back issue. The running back has been able to practice through the pain, but only in a limited capacity. It is unclear what the timeline for full participation is, but the consistent injured status does not favor Miller as he attempts to beat out Devin Neal for the No. 3 running back role.
