Report: Saints' Miller unlikely to play in Week 1

New Orleans Saints rookie running back Kendre Miller is not expected to play in the team's Week 1 matchup against the Tennessee Titans, a source told NFL reporter Jordan Schultz.

Miller didn't practice this week and is listed as questionable with a hamstring injury.

New Orleans' backfield will also miss Alvin Kamara as the dual-threat back will serve the first game of his three-game suspension as the result of a February 2022 altercation.

Jamaal Williams, who signed a three-year, $12-million deal with the Saints in free agency, will likely handle the bulk of running back snaps. The team also elevated Tony Jones Jr. from the practice squad ahead of the game.

The Saints selected Miller out of TCU in the third round of April's draft. Miller had 1,515 scrimmage yards and 17 touchdowns in his last season with the Horned Frogs.
