• Saints' Kendre Miller: Won't play in Week 18

  01/03/2025 • By RotoWire

  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. 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.

• Saints' Kendre Miller: Doesn't practice Thursday

  01/02/2025 • By RotoWire

  Miller (concussion) was a non-participant at Thursday's practice, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports. 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.

• Saints' Kendre Miller: Sits out practice Wednesday

  01/01/2025 • By RotoWire

  Miller (concussion) was a non-participant during Wednesday's practice. Miller made an early exit from this past Sunday's loss to 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 five-step protocol. The Saints' top running back, 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.

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

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