Won't play in Week 18 Interim coach Darren Rizzi said Friday that Miller hasn't gained clearance from the concussion protocol and won't play Sunday at Tampa Bay, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Miller made an early departure this past Sunday against the Raiders due to a concussion, and with no practice reps to speak of through Thursday, he wasn't trending in the right direction ahead of Week 18 action. Meanwhile, Alvin Kamara (groin) is listed as doubtful, per Terrell, so the Saints appear as if they'll be without their top two options out of the backfield this weekend. As a result, practice-squad member Clyde Edwards-Helaire may be the best bet to benefit among an RB group that also includes Jamaal Williams and Jordan Mims.

Doesn't practice Thursday Miller (concussion) was a non-participant at Thursday's practice, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports.

Impact Miller hasn't practiced since sustaining a concussion this past Sunday against the Raiders, indicating he's made little to no progress through the protocol for head injuries. Alvin Kamara also hasn't taken part in drills this week due to a lingering adductor injury. If both players ultimately are unable to play Sunday at Tampa Bay, Jamaal Williams, Jordan Mims and Clyde Edwards-Helaire will be the candidates to handle backfield reps for the Saints in Week 18.

DNP on Wednesday Miller (concussion) was a non-participant at Wednesday's practice.

Impact Miller made an early exit from this past Sunday's game versus the Raiders due to a concussion, and his lack of activity to begin Week 18 prep indicates he hasn't made much progress through the protocol for head injuries. The Saints' top RB Alvin Kamara also didn't practice Wednesday due to a lingering adductor issue, leaving Jamaal Williams, Jordan Mims and practice-squad member Clyde Edwards-Helaire as the healthy options at the position at the moment.

Saints Running Back Kendre Miller Exits Raiders Matchup With Concussion RB Kendre Miller has exited Week 17’s matchup with the Las Vegas Raiders after being examined for a concussion.

DECEMBER 29, 2024 • NEWSOBSERVER.COM

Concussion confirmed Miller won't return to Sunday's game versus the Raiders due to concussion.

Impact Miller was checked for a head injury in the second quarter, which necessitated a spell in the sideline tent and then the locker room. He then was ruled out after halftime, ending Week 17 with four touches for 19 yards from scrimmage. Considering Alvin Kamara (groin) and Jordan Mims (coach's decision) are inactive, Clyde Edwards-Helaire and Jamaal Williams will handle the RB reps for the Saints for the rest of Sunday's contest.

Getting concussion check Miller is under evaluation for a concussion during Sunday's game against the Raiders.

Impact In the middle of the second quarter, Miller was prompted to visit the sideline tent and then went to the locker room before the Saints made this announcement. If he's diagnosed with a concussion, he'll finish Week 17 with three carries for three yards and one catch (on one target) for 16 yards. With Alvin Kamara (groin) and Jordan Mims (coach's decision) inactive, Jamaal Williams and Clyde Edwards-Helaire are the remaining available RBs for New Orleans.

Stymied on 10 touches in loss Miller rushed eight times for 15 yards and brought in both targets for 16 yards in the Saints' 34-0 loss to the Packers on Monday night. He also returned one kickoff for 21 yards.

Impact The second-year back helmed the ground attack in place of Alvin Kamara (groin), but he unsurprisingly found running room at a premium and soon saw game script turn against the ground attack altogether. Miller now has 27 carries over the last three games, while his receiving yardage total was a new season high. Miller would likely reprise his No. 1 role in a favorable Week 17 home matchup against the Raiders if Kamara remains out, considering Jamaal Williams and Jordan Mims appear destined to continue serving in a complementary capacity.

Steps up for injured starter Sunday Miller notched nine rushes for 46 yards and caught 0 of 1 targets for zero yards during Sunday's 20-19 loss to the Commanders.

Impact Miller was hardly involved for most of the game but had to shoulder a bigger workload after RB1 Alvin Kamara exited with a groin injury early in the fourth quarter. The second-year backup logged eight carries and his lone target during this quarter, and he finished with a career-high in rushing yards. Meanwhile, RB3 Jamaal Williams finished with a carry or a target. Kamara did not return before the end of Sunday's contest, leaving his status uncertain for next week's contest versus Green Bay on Monday, Dec. 23. Should he miss time, then Miller should be in line to step in as the feature back for New Orleans.

Finds end zone in return Miller carried the ball 10 times for 32 yards and a touchdown and failed to catch his only target in Sunday's 14-11 win over the Giants.

Impact Making his return to the lineup after a four-game absence due to a hamstring strain, Miller opened the scoring on the afternoon with an eight-yard score late in the first quarter. Alvin Kamara led the Saints' backfield with 22 touches, but Miller's 10 topped the five that Jamaal Williams handled, and the second-year back appears to be taking advantage of the clean slate he received when Dennis Allen was let go as head coach. Miller will look to build on this effort in Week 15 against the Commanders.

Active for Week 14 Miller (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game against the Giants.

Impact It was well reported that the Saints former head coach, Dennis Allen, wasn't a fan of Miller missing so much time early in his career due to injuries. However, interim head coach Darren Rizzi doesn't feel the same way and is excited to have Miller, who has missed 11 of 13 games this season due to two IR stints, back in the fold. While Rizzi remains optimistic about Miller's ability to make an impact, it's unclear how much the second-year running back will be involved against the Giants, as Alvin Kamara and Jamaal Williams are both active. In two appearances this season, Miller has totaled 11 touches for 53 yards across 28 offensive snaps. He also saw some work as a kick returner.

Activated off IR Miller (hamstring), who is still listed as questionable for Sunday's contest against the Giants, was activated off injured reserve Saturday, Ross Jackson of WWL Louisiana reports.

Impact Miller is expected to make his return after a four-game absence come Sunday. The second-year running back has been injured frequently during his career and was reportedly in the former coaching regime's "doghouse", but interim head coach Darren Rizzi made a point of saying in a press conference that doesn't apply to his tenure in the position. It's unclear what that all means in terms of playing time for Miller, but the Saints should be invested in seeing what they have in the 2023 third-round pick.

Impact Miller had his practice window opened Wednesday, and while he may officially be listed as questionable for Sunday's road game against New York, it sounds like the second-year pro is on track to be activated from IR and retake the field. If Miller is indeed activated in time to suit up Week 14, he may get a chance to compete with Jamaal Williams for backup reps behind starter Alvin Kamara.

Returns to practice Miller (hamstring) was designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Miller returned to practice in full Wednesday after missing the Saints' last four games due to a hamstring injury sustained in a Week 8 loss to the Chargers. The second-year running back from TCU now has 21 days to be activated to the Saints' active roster before reverting to IR. If Miller is activated in time to play in New Orleans' Week 14 matchup against the Giants, he'll likely serve as the team's No. 3 RB, playing behind Alvin Kamara and Jamaal Williams.
