The Saints placed Miller (hamstring) on injured reserve Saturday. Miller missed the first six games of the regular season due to a hamstring injury, though it's not clear whether his current hamstring issue is to the same leg. The 2023 third-round pick will be forced to miss at least the next four regular-season games, making Week 13 against the Rams on Sunday, Dec. 8 the earliest he can return. Jamaal Williams (groin) has already been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Panthers, so the Saints signed Jordan Mims from the practice squad to the active roster to serve as Alvin Kamara's backup.

The Saints placed Miller (hamstring) on injured reserve Saturday. Miller missed the first six games of the regular season due to a hamstring injury, though it's not clear whether his current hamstring issue is to the same leg. The 2023 third-round pick will be forced to miss at least the next four regular-season games, making Week 13 against the Rams on Sunday, Dec. 8 the earliest he can return. Jamaal Williams (groin) has already been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Panthers, so the Saints signed Jordan Mims from the practice squad to the active roster to serve as Alvin Kamara's backup.
Miller (hamstring) was listed as a DNP on Thursday's practice report, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports. Miller has logged consecutive DNPs this week while working through a hamstring injury he picked up during the Saints' Week 8 loss to the Chargers. Unless he can practice in at least a limited capacity Friday, Miller would be in jeopardy of being ruled out ahead of Sunday's NFC South showdown against the Panthers. If he were to be inactive, Jamaal Williams (groin) would be in line to serve as the backup running back behind Alvin Kamara (hand/ribs).
Miller (hamstring) did not practice Wednesday. Miller suffered a hamstring injury early in the second half of this past Sunday's game against the Chargers, which was severe enough for him to be ruled out for the rest of the contest. Miller will have two more chances to practice in at least a limited capacity before Sunday's game against the Panthers. If Miller is unable to suit up, Jamaal Williams would step into the backup role behind lead back Alvin Kamara.
Miller (hamstring) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Chargers, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports. Miller left the field early in the second half of Sunday's game due to a hamstring injury, and he'll end his day with three carries for 16 yards. It's unclear whether the hamstring injury is to the same leg that caused him to miss the first six games of the regular season. Jamaal Williams will be the lone backup running back behind Alvin Kamara for the rest of Sunday's contest.
Miller (hamstring) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Chargers, John Hendrix of SI.com reports. Miller went to the locker room in the second half shortly before the nature of the injury was revealed. The second-year pro had three carries for 16 yards prior to getting hurt. Miller missed the first six games of the season due to a hamstring injury.
Miller rushed six times for 36 yards and secured two of three targets for one yard in the Saints' 33-10 loss to the Broncos on Thursday night. The oft-injured 2023 third-round pick made his season debut following a long recovery from a hamstring injury sustained back in late July. Miller saw only two of his touches before the game was fully out of hand, but he looked good while gaining 25 of his rushing yards on back-to-back carries during the Saints' final drive. Now finally healthy, Miller could eventually start eating into Jamaal Williams' touches as the No. 2 running back, although the former will have to prove that consistent health is no longer elusive.
Miller (hamstring) is listed as active Thursday versus the Broncos. For the first time this season, Miller is available to the Saints offense after completing his recovery from a hamstring injury that he sustained early in training camp. Having said that, Alvin Kamara also is suiting up, which means he should be good for his typical workload of 22 touches per game. As a result, Miller likely will be hard-pressed to see much, if any, action behind Kamara and Jamaal Williams.
Miller (hamstring) wasn't listed on the Saints' estimate injury report Monday. Despite the Saints activating Miller from injured reserve Saturday, he was held out of Sunday's loss to the Buccaneers while Alvin Kamara assumed his normal workhorse role and Jamaal Williams and Jordan Mims mixed in behind him. Coach Dennis Allen told John Hendrix of SI.com earlier Monday that he expects Miller "being ready to go this week," and the second-year pro's lack of listing on the team's first Week 7 injury report implies as much. Kamara was listed as limited due to a hand issue Monday, but assuming he's able to suit up as usual Thursday versus the Broncos, Miller may not have much of a role out of the Saints backfield behind Kamara and Williams, assuming all three are active.
Coach Dennis Allen said Monday that he expects Miller (hamstring) to make his season debut Thursday against the Broncos, John Hendrix of SI.com reports. Miller was activated off injured reserve Saturday but remained inactive for Sunday's loss to the Buccaneers. The 2023 third-round draft pick is expected to make his season debut Thursday, though official word on Miller's status won't come until later in the week. Once cleared to play, Miller will jostle with Jamaal Williams for backup touches behind Alvin Kamara.
