Saints' Kendre Miller: Lands on IR
The New Orleans Saints placed Kendre Miller (knee) on injured reserve Tuesday.Miller's move to IR was merely a formality after head coach Kellen Moore confirmed that the third-year running back sustained a torn ACL in Sunday's loss to the Bears. The 23-year-old will be entering the final year of his rookie deal in 2026 and could have a chance at making it back for Week 1 of next season, though it will be contingent on him avoiding any setbacks in the long rehab process from surgery. Devin Neal is expected to step in as the Saints' new No. 2 running back in place of Miller, who had amassed 193 yards and one touchdown on 47 carries to go with five catches for 30 yards over seven games while serving as Alvin Kamara's top backup.

Saints' Kendre Miller: Confirmed done for season
Coach Kellen Moore confirmed Monday that Kendre Miller (knee) will miss the remainder of the season, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.Miller suffered a torn ACL in Sunday's loss to the Bears, which knocks him out for the rest of the 2025 campaign. He had been operating as a sort of 1B to Alvin Kamara's 1A in the New Orleans backfield, totaling a 47-193-1 rushing line across seven contests. With Miller now done for the year, rookie Devin Neal figures to slot in as the RB2 for the New Orleans Saints. A third-round pick in the 2023 Draft, Miller is under contract through the 2026 season.

Saints' Kendre Miller: Believed to have torn ACL
Kendre Miller is believed to have suffered a torn ACL in Sunday's loss to the Bears, NFL reporter Jordan Schultz reports.It's yet another injury for the 23-year-old running back, who missed 20 of 34 regular-season contests across his first two seasons before playing in all seven to open the 2025 campaign. However, Miller now appears set to miss the final 10 contests of this season after producing a 47-193-1 rushing line as Alvin Kamara's backup. With Miller looking done for the remainder of the season, Devin Neal projects to slide into the RB2 role for New Orleans.

Saints' Kendre Miller: Concern regarding knee injury
New Orleans Saints coach Kellen Moore said there's concern for Kendre Miller's knee injury following Sunday's 26-14 loss to the Bears, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.Miller logged one carry for seven yards before exiting with a knee injury in the first half. The third-year running back walked to the locker room under his own power, per Terrell, but he was ruled out shortly after halftime. The first two seasons of Miller's career were hampered by injuries, in particular hamstring and ankle issues, and it wasn't until recently that he'd finally settled into a consistent RB2 role. He's already logged career highs in carries (47) and rushing yards (193) across seven games this season. If Miller misses time, then Devin Neal should stand to see increased carries behind RB1 Alvin Kamara.

Saints' Kendre Miller: Totals 32 yards in loss
Kendre Miller totaled eight carries for 21 yards and caught his only target for 11 yards during Sunday's 25-19 defeat to the Patriots.After back-to-back games with double-digit carries, Miller was stonewalled for his second-least efficient rushing performance of the season. The third-year running back has now averaged 7.6 carries per game this season. Over the last three games, he's averaging 9.6 rushing attempts for 42.3 yards per contest while operating as the No. 2 running back behind Alvin Kamara. Miller will look to remain involved in his backup role during the Week 7 matchup versus the Bears on Sunday, Sept. 19.

Saints' Kendre Miller: Sees increased usage Week 5
Kendre Miller accrued 10 rushes for 41 yards and hauled in his only target for eight yards during Sunday's 26-14 victory against the Giants.Miller logged double-digit carries for the second week in a row. While he wasn't as productive as the Week 4 loss to Buffalo, the third-year running back paced the New Orleans Saints in rushing attempts for the first time this season. He finished with two more carries than RB1 Alvin Kamara, who has had a very slow start to the season. Kamara's slump has opened more and more opportunities for Miller, including a season-high 39 percent of offensive snaps Sunday. If Kamara continues to struggle, then Miller could be in line for even more carries during the Week 6 matchup versus New England on Sunday, Oct. 12.

Saints' Kendre Miller: Scores TD in Week 4
Kendre Miller totaled 11 carries for 65 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 31-19 loss to Buffalo.Miller logged double-digit carries for the first time this season en route to his most productive rushing output of 2025. The third-year back found the end zone for an 18-yard touchdown on his first carry of the game, and logged only four fewer carries than Alvin Kamara. Miller struggled to maintain consistent playing time during his first two seasons due to injuries and an overall lack of production, and this was his best career outing aside from a big Week 18 performance in 2023. He'll look to carve out a larger workload once again during the New Orleans Saints' Week 5 matchup versus the Giants, whose defense has allowed a league-worst 6.1 yards per carry this season.

Saints' Kendre Miller: Receives nine touches Sunday
Kendre Miller took seven carries for 27 yards and caught both of his targets for nine yards in Sunday's 44-13 loss to the Seahawks.Starter Alvin Kamara struggled on his 18 carries, opening the door for Miller to see a few extra touches in the second half a blowout loss.

Saints' Kendre Miller: Logs five carries Week 2
Kendre Miller recorded five rushes for eight yards and hauled in his only target for two yards during Sunday's 26-21 loss versus San Francisco.Miller logged five carries for the second week in a row, though he was much more inefficient compared to the season opener when he gained 48 yards on the ground. After back-to-back seasons marred by injuries, the 2023 third-round pick has been the clear No. 2 running back through the first two games this year. However, his fantasy value is still limited while operating behind RB1 Alvin Kamara, who tallied 11 carries in Week 1 and 21 carries in Week 2. Miller will hope for more opportunity this coming Sunday, Sept. 21 versus Seattle.
