Saints rookie RB Kendre Miller is managing a hamstring injury

New Orleans Saints head coach Dennis Allen announced yesterday that rookie running back Kendre Miller is dealing with a new hamstring injury.

Coming out of TCU, it was known Miller was dealing with a meniscus injury that left him sidelined for the 2023 national championship game, but now, it seems he’s dealing with a new injury. Miller’s status for the season opener against the Tennessee Titans is up in the air, and the last thing the Saints need is for Miller to miss time early in the season.

With star RB Alvin Kamara out for the first three games due to a suspension, it was expected that newly signed Jamaal Williams and rookie Kendre Miller would front the rushing load, but if Miller misses Week 1, that plan goes out the window.
