Saints' Kendre Miller: Sees first action of season
Miller rushed six times for 36 yards and secured two of three targets for one yard in the Saints' 33-10 loss to the Broncos on Thursday night.
The oft-injured 2023 third-round pick made his season debut following a long recovery from a hamstring injury sustained back in late July. Miller saw only two of his touches before the game was fully out of hand, but he looked good while gaining 25 of his rushing yards on back-to-back carries during the Saints' final drive. Now finally healthy, Miller could eventually start eating into Jamaal Williams' touches as the No. 2 running back, although the former will have to prove that consistent health is no longer elusive.

Saints' Kendre Miller: Active for first time this season
Miller (hamstring) is listed as active Thursday versus the Broncos.
For the first time this season, Miller is available to the Saints offense after completing his recovery from a hamstring injury that he sustained early in training camp. Having said that, Alvin Kamara also is suiting up, which means he should be good for his typical workload of 22 touches per game. As a result, Miller likely will be hard-pressed to see much, if any, action behind Kamara and Jamaal Williams.

Saints' Kendre Miller: Clear of injury report
Miller (hamstring) wasn't listed on the Saints' estimated injury report Monday.
Despite the Saints activating Miller from injured reserve Saturday, he was held out of Sunday's loss to the Buccaneers while Alvin Kamara assumed his normal workhorse role, with Jamaal Williams and Jordan Mims mixing in behind him. Coach Dennis Allen told John Hendrix of SI.com earlier Monday that he expects Miller will be "ready to go this week." Kamara was listed as limited due to a hand issue Monday, but assuming he's able to suit up as usual Thursday versus the Broncos, Miller may not have much of a role behind Kamara and Williams, if he's even active.

Saints' Kendre Miller: Coach optimistic for Thursday debut
Coach Dennis Allen said Monday that he expects Miller (hamstring) to make his season debut Thursday against the Broncos, John Hendrix of SI.com reports.
Miller was activated off injured reserve Saturday but remained inactive for Sunday's loss to the Buccaneers. The 2023 third-round draft pick is expected to make his season debut Thursday, though official word on Miller's status won't come until later in the week. Once he's cleared to play, Miller will jostle with Jamaal Williams for backup touches behind Alvin Kamara.

Saints' Kendre Miller: Not suiting up
Miller (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, John Hendrix of SI.com reports.
Miller missed the first five weeks of the season with a hamstring issue and was activated off injured reserve Saturday. Even after turning in three full practices, however, he'll be inactive once again. Jamaal Williams will remain the top backup to Alvin Kamara against Tampa Bay as a result.

Saints' Kendre Miller: Activated off IR
Miller (hamstring) was activated off injured reserve Saturday, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports. The second-year back still remains questionable for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers.
Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football in a second report suggested Miller likely won't see a significant role right out of the gate, which makes sense given the young back's history of injuries throughout his career. Expect Alvin Kamara to be the main focal point on offense, with rookie quarterback Spencer Rattler making his first career start in replacement of the injured Derek Carr (oblique).

Saints' Kendre Miller: Questionable for Week 6
Miller (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, Matthew Paras of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
Miller has been a full participant in each practice since last Friday, so if he's held out again this Sunday it might be a matter of not having a role more so than anything to do with his hamstring. The Saints will need to activate him from injured reserve by 4:00 p.m. ET on Saturday in order for Miller to have a chance to play against the Bucs on Sunday.

Saints' Kendre Miller: Another full listing Wednesday
Miller (hamstring) was listed as a full participant for Wednesday's walkthrough.
Though Miller was deemed a full participant in the Saints' final two practices for Week 5 and wasn't listed with a designation Saturday, the team downgraded him to doubtful Sunday and then ruled him out ahead of Monday's game at Kansas City. As of Wednesday, he's been without restrictions in three straight sessions, but the team still has two weeks to make a decision to activate him from injured reserve. He'll still have a chance to make his season debut this Sunday versus the Buccaneers, though the Saints would have to activate him by Saturday at 4 p.m. ET in order to be eligible to play.

Saints' Kendre Miller: Ruled out for MNF
Miller (hamstring) won't suit up Monday against the Chiefs, Ross Jackson of LouisianaSports.net reports.
This development isn't surprising considering Miller was previously considered doubtful. He returned to practice in the week leading up to Monday's game but remains on injured reserve due to a hamstring injury. Miller's next chance to play will be Sunday against the Buccaneers, and his return would be preceded by an official move activating the second-year running back from IR.

Saints' Kendre Miller: Now doubtful for MNF
The Saints have downgraded Miller (hamstring) to doubtful for Monday's game at Kansas City.
Designated for return from injured reserve this week, Miller opened with a limited practice Thursday before capping it with back-to-back full practices. On Saturday, the Saints didn't even tag the second-year pro with a designation for Week 5 action, only to do an about-face a day later with the downgrade. Miller thus appears unlikely to be activated from IR by Monday's 4:00 p.m. ET deadline to do so.

Saints' Kendre Miller: Full practice Friday
Miller (hamstring) was a full participant in practice Friday, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.
Miller upgraded to full participation Friday after logging a limited session Thursday. He's trending in the right direction ahead of Monday's game against the Chiefs, but Miller will need to be officially activated from injured reserve before he can play. If such a move transpires, Miller would likely jostle with Jamaal Williams for touches behind Alvin Kamara (hip/ribs), the latter of whom has kicked off Week 5 prep with consecutive limited practices.

Saints' Kendre Miller: Makes return to practice
Saints head coach Dennis Allen said that Miller (hamstring) practiced Thursday, John Hendrix of SI.com reports.
With Miller making his return to practice for the first time since late July, the Saints will now have 21 days to evaluate him for reinstatement from injured reserve. Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.football previously reported last week that Miller was expected to be available for the Saints in Monday's game against the Chiefs, but Allen suggested that the running back is considered day-to-day. Allen added that the Saints will see how Miller looks during practices throughout the week before deciding on his status for the Week 5 contest.

Saints' Kendre Miller: Expected back Week 5
Miller (hamstring) is expected to resume practicing Wednesday and return from injured reserve for Week 5 at Kansas City, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.
Miller apparently has made enough progress to return from injured reserve when first eligible. He's been bothered by a hamstring injury since the start of training camp, with Saints coach Dennis Allen expressing frustration on multiple occasions about Miller's inability to stay healthy since the Saints took him in the third round of the 2023 NFL Draft. Miller was rehabbing an MCL injury at the time he was drafted and then dealt with knee, hamstring and ankle injuries during his rookie season. Miller likely will start off as the Saints' No. 3 running back, but it may not take much to move up a spot ahead of No. 2 RB Jamaal Williams.

Saints' Kendre Miller: Will start on IR
Miller (hamstring) has been placed on injured reserve with a designation to return, which will force him to miss at least the first four games of the year, Sean Fazende of Fox 8 New Orleans reports.
Miller hasn't yet resumed practicing since suffering a hamstring injury at the very beginning of training camp, so it's not much of a surprise that he'll be unavailable for the start of the regular season. That could provide Jordan Mims, who led the Saints in rushing yards this preseason, a clearer path to a spot on the 53-man roster. Once officially placed on IR, Miller's first opportunity to return to action will come in Week 5 against Kansas City.

Saints' Kendre Miller: Out for at least four games
Miller (hamstring) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday with a designation to return.
Miller is ineligible for the first four games of the regular season after missing most of training camp and all three of the Saints' preseason games. Coach Dennis Allen has been critical of the running back's injury problems to this point in his career, but the Saints may nonetheless give their 2023 third-round pick a chance to show what he can do if/when he stays healthy for more than a few weeks at a time. For now, Alvin Kamara and Jamaal Williams top the depth chart at running back, with Taysom Hill also expected to take some carries.

Saints' Kendre Miller: Remains out for preseason finale
Miller (hamstring) did not play in Sunday's 30-27 preseason loss to the Titans.
Miller has now missed all three preseason games for the Saints since suffering a hamstring injury July 24. With his absence now extending about a full month, it appears likely that the 2023 third-rounder could start the regular season on IR. His case was not helped by the fact that New Orleans' starters did not play Sunday, allowing backup running backs Jordan Mims and Jacob Kibodi to combine for 17 rushes for 92 yards while taking the bulk of the team's carries. Even if Miller is not placed on IR for the first four games, his lack of availability may mean he'll vie for the third running back spot behind Alvin Kamara and Jamaal Williams.
