Kendre Miller

Saints coach Dennis Allen said he doesn’t know if Kendre Miller (hamstring) can learn the offensive system because he hasn’t been able to practice.

Allen has repeatedly expressed doubt in the oft-injured running back, previously saying, “It’s hard to make the team when you’re in the training room all the time.” Miller has been sidelined since the start of training camp because of a hamstring issue and dealt with various injuries as a rookie. At this point, it does seem as though Miller’s roster spot is in doubt. Jamaal Williams has been operating as the Saints’ RB2 in his absence but was dreadfully inefficient last year. Taysom Hill could play a larger role in the backfield if Miller is cut or isn’t able to get on the field before the start of the season.
