Saints head coach Dennis Allen said Kendre Miller has a hamstring injury. Wouldn’t say if it will impact Week 1.

As it stands, the only active running backs on the Saints roster are Jamaal Williams and Kirk Merritt, though Jordan Mims and Tony Jones are on the practice squad. 4for4's injury expert, Jeff Mueller, believes the hamstring is related to offseason knee surgery, which will impact his Week 1 status. Either Williams is going to have a monster workload right out of the gate, or the team will be immediately signing a free agent option to eat into that (still large) workload.

The Saints needed running back help after Kendre Miller’s knee sprain. They brought in free agents Kylin Hill and Darrel Williams to work out for them Monday and decided to sign one of them.

Williams has agreed to terms with the Saints, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

It is a homecoming for Williams, who grew up in Louisiana and played at LSU. He spent his first four NFL seasons with the Chiefs before going to the Cardinals last year. Miller is expected to be ready for Week 1, according to reports. However any missed time may push Miller down the depth chart, at least to start the season.

Tests confirmed Saints RB Kendre Miller suffered a knee sprain in Sunday's preseason win over the Chiefs, per source.

Pelissero added there is no need for surgery. He'll likely miss a little time, but there is optimism around the team the third-round pick will be ready Week 1. The Saints could opt to bring in another back, but still have Dwayne Washington and Adam Prentice on their roster at the moment.

Initial belief is that Kendre Miller avoided a major injury, which is a good thing, but we'll know for sure after further testing, per source.

Miller is thought to have a knee sprain on the same knee he's been rehabbing during the offseason. Miller could miss some time, and with Kamara suspended to start the season, it leaves Williams as the RB1. Washington and Prentice are next up. If Miller has to miss a significant amount of time, the Saints could be in the mix to bring in another RB.

Kareem Hunt is making a free agent visit to the Saints. With Alvin Kamara missing during his three-game suspension and Eno Benjamin suffering a torn Achilles, the team is looking for some more options.

The last two seasons we've seen Hunt with the ball in his hands, he's produced exceedingly inefficient rushes, so hopefully he's not chewing into Williams' role too much. As for the third-round rookie Miller, we could expect this signing to come to his detriment.

Saints RB Alvin Kamara will miss games against the Titans, Panthers, and Packers while serving his suspension. He can make his 2023 debut at home on Oct. 1 against the Bucs.

With rumors floating of four, six, or even eight games, a three-game suspension seems like the best-case scenario. This actually makes Kamara a bargain as he was going in the middle of the seventh round, but this news will no doubt make that more expensive soon. Expect Jamaal Williams to carry a lot of the load, with Kendre Miller rotating in for most of the first month. Williams remains a good value all the way back in the ninth round.

The New Orleans Saints announced that they have placed WR Shaquan Davis, RB Kendre Miller, and WR A.T. Perry on Non-Football Injury.

With the initial excitement of the NFL Draft now months behind us, Kendre Miller's fantasy football stock has been slowly fading out of relevance in non-Dynasty leagues. This came to a head before this NFI designation on July 11th when Alvin Kamara pleaded no contest to his breach of the peach charges in a Las Vegas nightclub incident. This will likely deal an even bigger blow to the running back's ADP, which has dropped nearly a full round since the first week of June. He should be left off of your draft boards until further notice.

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara agrees to plead no contest to misdemeanor charge of breach of peace for Las Vegas nightclub beating. He will have to do community service and pay $100K to victim for medical bills.

The NFL has historically drawn a line in the sand between misdemeanors and felonies, so this should presumably be good news in reference to Kamara's full-season availability. With that said, the NFL has kept mum on this situation so we don't know for certain whether or not he will face a suspension. Regardless, this is sure to boost his ADP while inversely affecting those of Williams and Miller.

We will continue to update Kamara's news page as we find out more information.
