Saints' Christen Miller: Plays Saturday, exits with shoulder issue
Miller took part in Saturday's preseason loss to Jacksonville but exited due to a shoulder injury, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports.
Miller had been dealing with a toe issue, but he's presumably past that problem given his ability to suit up Saturday. However, the rookie defensive tackle headed to the locker room during the contest and was evaluated for a shoulder injury. Miller is expected to have a key rotational role on the defensive line if healthy after New Orleans selected him in the second round of April's NFL Draft.

The 2026 second-round pick from Georgia appeared in 26 games during his final two collegiate seasons, posting 50 total tackles, including 7.5 tackles for loss and 3.0 sacks. Once Miller returns to full health, he's expected to operate as one of New Orleans' top interior defensive linemen.

Saints' Christen Miller: Selected by Saints
The Saints selected Miller in the second round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 42nd overall.
Miller (6-foot-4, 321 pounds) makes contributions that don't show up in the box score, so while he didn't post big numbers at Georgia he did make meaningful contributions to their otherwise strong interior trench rotation. Miller has the ability to hold up as a nose tackle/two-gap tackle, so if the Saints put forth an improved run defense there's a good chance Miller will have something to do with it.
