Saints' Kendre Miller: Handles eight carries in Paris loss
Miller rushed eight times for six yards in Sunday's 16-10 loss to the Steelers in Paris.
The Saints got absolutely nothing going on the ground against Pittsburgh, rushing 17 times for 18 yards as a team, so it's not like Miller and his team-leading eight carries was the only issue. New Orleans heads into its bye in Week 8, and Travis Etienne (hamstring) will be eligible to come off injured reserve for Week 9 against the Browns. When both Etienne and Alvin Kamara were healthy and active together earlier this season, Miller was a healthy inactive.

Saints' Kendre Miller: Leading rusher in Week 6 win
Miller carried the ball 20 times for 70 yards and caught both his targets for zero yards in Sunday's 34-27 win over the Giants.
Alvin Kamara missed time in the first half due to an undisclosed injury, and while he was able to return and make an impact as a pass catcher, Miller led the Saints in rushing yards and touches with 22. The 70 yards also represented his best total since Week 18 of his rookie season in 2023. With Travis Etienne (hamstring) not eligible to return until after a Week 8 bye, Miller should split reps in the backfield with Kamara once again in Week 7 against the Steelers in Paris.

Saints' Kendre Miller: Finds end zone in Week 5 loss
Miller turned 10 carries into 30 yards and a touchdown during the Saints' 23-13 loss to the Vikings on Sunday.
Miller averaged only 3.0 YPC during Sunday's loss, but his two-yard touchdown run midway through the second quarter gave the Saints an early 7-3 lead, although New Orleans' offense generated only three more points the rest of the way. His 10 carries led the Saints' backfield that also includes CJ Donaldson (four carries) and Alvin Kamara (three), though Miller had only three rushes during the second half. Kamara dealt with a back issue during Week 5 prep, and if that issue continues to linger, then Miller could be the Saints' lead back for Week 6 against the Giants this Sunday.

Saints' Kendre Miller: Six carries in defeat
Miller rushed six time for nine yards and caught two of three targets while losing a fumble in Monday night's 45-24 loss to Atlanta.
Miller was rumored to be on track for a larger workload in Week 4 after starting running back Travis Etienne (hamstring) was placed on injured reserve. Miller was only on the field for 26 percent of the team's offensive snaps, which could have been as a result of a first-quarter fumble that Atlanta ultimately recovered. Veteran Alvin Kamara was on the field for 41 percent of the offensive snaps, turning seven carries into 23 yards and two scores while also reeling in five of seven targets for 35 yards in the contest. It appears as if Miller will operate as the No. 2 option behind Kamara in Etienne's absence, making him a low-upside fantasy option.

Saints' Kendre Miller: In the mix for more snaps
Miller is in line for a larger offensive role for as long as Travis Etienne (hamstring) is on injured reserve, John DeShazler of the Saints' official site reports.
Etienne's placement on IR on Thursday comes after the star running back aggravated a hamstring injury during the Saints' Week 3 loss to the Raiders. With Etienne sidelined, Miller and Alvin Kamara figure to operate as the Saints' top running backs moving forward, with undrafted rookie CJ Donaldson also in the mix for backfield work. Miller has 13 carries for 44 yards (3.4 YPC) and a touchdown along with two catches (on three targets) for five yards through two regular-season games.

Saints' Kendre Miller: Avoids injury designation for Week 3
Miller (illness) doesn't carry an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Raiders.
Miller was under the weather Thursday, keeping him off the practice field. However, he was a full participant Friday. Miller was a healthy scratch for the 24-17 win over Baltimore in Week 2, meaning he is in danger of suffering the same fate versus Las Vegas, though his services may be needed on special teams with Barion Brown (hamstring) ruled out. With that in mind, if Miller is inactive, that would likely mean more work for Alvin Kamara and CJ Donaldson behind Travis Etienne.

Saints' Kendre Miller: Sits out practice with illness
Miller was a non-participant in Thursday's practice due to an illness, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports.
After being a healthy inactive Week 2 win over the Ravens while the Saints welcomed Alvin Kamara (knee) back from a one-game absence, Miller will now have to overcome an illness as he looks to re-enter the backfield mix Sunday versus the Raiders. Even if he makes a full recovery from the ailment, Miller may need No. 1 back Travis Etienne (hamstring) to sit out the Week 3 game in order to avoid another inactive status. Etienne has been limited in both of the Saints' practices this week, clouding his availability for Sunday.

Saints' Kendre Miller: Healthy scratch in Week 2
Miller (coach's decision) is listed as inactive Sunday in Baltimore.
Miller served as the No. 2 RB behind Travis Etienne in Week 1 with Alvin Kamara inactive due to a knee issue, but with Kamara back in action Sunday, Miller will be a healthy scratch. That leaves CJ Donaldson as the active third backfield option behind Etienne and Kamara in Week 2. Miller's next chance for game action is next Sunday against the Raiders.

Saints' Kendre Miller: 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.
The Saints were kept scoreless 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.

Saints' Kendre Miller: Back to practice
Miller was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.
Miller was dealing with an unknown issue, but the running back's presence in practice indicates he has recovered. The 24-year-old is set to be the No. 2 option behind Travis Etienne for the Saints' Week 1 matchup with the Lions.

Saints' Kendre Miller: 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.
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 Saints backfield behind starter Travis Etienne will look in Week 1, but Miller has a chance to factor into the mix if he's healthy.

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

Saints' Kendre Miller: 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.
Miller finished four rushing yards shy of Audric Estime for the 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.
