Kendre Miller

Kendre Miller (concussion) will not play in Week 18 against the Saints.

After missing much of his rookie season due to injury, Miller was treated to more of the same this year. He was sidelined to open the year because of another hamstring issue. He eventually returned to action for a backup role. Later in the season when the hamstring issue resurfaced, Dennis Allen immediately put him back on injured reserve, seemingly out of spite. Miller was reportedly not dealing with a long-term issue but was required to miss four games anyway. He ultimately appeared in just six games this year, rushing 39 times for 148 yards and a touchdown along the way. Miller has played in just 14 games since the Saints drafted him in the third round two years ago. With Alvin Kamara also struggling through injuries in recent seasons, they will likely add competition for the RB2 job in the offseason.
