Saints Waive Third-Round Pick Kendre Miller Ahead of Browns Clash

The New Orleans Saints waived running back Kendre Miller on November 7, 2026, just before their Sunday game against the Cleveland Browns. Miller, a 2023 third-round draft pick from TCU, had 184 career carries for 656 yards and 29 receptions for 217 yards. The move follows failed trade attempts and leaves the Saints relying on Alvin Kamara, C.J. Donaldson, and Audric Estimé, as starter Travis Etienne remains on injured reserve with a hamstring injury.

Saints Backfield Uncertainty Looms as Etienne Remains Limited, Miller Misses Practice

New Orleans Saints running back Travis Etienne remains limited by a hamstring injury, keeping his availability questionable for Week 3 against the Las Vegas Raiders. Backup Kendre Miller missed Thursday's practice due to an illness, though such issues rarely impact game-day status. Veteran Alvin Kamara is expected to see a significant role if Etienne sits, while rookie wide receiver Barion Brown also appeared on the injury report.

New Orleans Saints quarterback Derek Carr is excited to see rookie running back Kendre Miller's physicality and violence on display in his regular season debut against the Green Bay Packers. Carr believes that Miller's aggressive running style will be a valuable asset for the team, and a strong performance could earn him more playing time even after Alvin Kamara returns from suspension.

Saints RB Kendre Miller's Knee Injury: Optimistic for Week 1 Return

New Orleans Saints rookie running back Kendre Miller is not expected to miss significant time after spraining his knee in a preseason game against the Kansas City Chiefs. The injury is not considered severe, and Miller could be ready for the start of the regular season. He is currently the third-string running back behind Alvin Kamara and Jamaal Williams, but with Kamara serving a suspension for the first three games, Miller would likely assume the backup role if he is healthy. The Saints may look to add running back depth until Miller returns.

Kendre Miller ready to challenge Alvin Kamara for Saints' RB position.

New Orleans Saints rookie running back Kendre Miller believes he can handle a receiving role similar to Alvin Kamara's, despite being underused as a receiver in college. Miller, who was mostly deployed as a first- and second-down runner for TCU, has been working on his receiving skills with the Saints. Head coach Dennis Allen likes Miller's downhill running style, good feet, contact balance, and speed. However, Miller has yet to be cleared for action following an MCL injury he suffered that kept him out of TCU's National Championship Game loss to Georgia.
