Saints' Kendre Miller: Won't play in Week 18
Interim coach Darren Rizzi said Friday that Kendre 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 New Orleans 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
Kendre 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 New Orleans Saints in Week 18.

Saints' Kendre Miller: Sits out practice Wednesday
Kendre 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 New Orleans 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.

Saints' Kendre Miller: Concussion confirmed
Kendre 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 New Orleans Saints for the rest of Sunday's contest.

Saints' Kendre Miller: Getting concussion check
Kendre 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 New Orleans 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.

Saints' Kendre Miller: Stymied on 10 touches in loss
Kendre Miller rushed eight times for 15 yards and brought in both targets for 16 yards in the New Orleans Saints' 34-0 loss to the Packers on Monday night. He also returned one kickoff for 21 yards.The second-year back helmed the backfield 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 gig 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 complementary roles.

Saints' Kendre Miller: Steps up for injured starter Sunday
Kendre Miller notched nine rushes for 46 yards and failed to catch his only target during Sunday's 20-19 loss to the Commanders.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 without 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.

Saints' Kendre Miller: Finds end zone in return
Kendre 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.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 New Orleans 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.

Saints' Kendre Miller: Active for Week 14
Kendre Miller (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game against the Giants.It was well reported that the New Orleans 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.

Saints' Kendre Miller: Activated off IR
Kendre 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.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 it 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 New Orleans Saints should be invested in seeing what they have in the 2023 third-round pick.
