Kendre Miller

Saints placed RB Kendre Miller and WR Bub Means on injured reserve.

The Saints suddenly find themselves in a bind at running back after Miller’s move to injured reserve and backup running back Jamaal Williams’ status as doubtful for Week 9. The team is left with only Alvin Kamara and fullback Adam Prentice as healthy backs on the active roster, potentially opening up additional backfield snaps for queen chess piece Taysom Hill against the Panthers. Means’ absence likely thrusts recent acquisition Marquez Valdes-Scantling into meaningful snaps on the perimeter.
