Sees first action of season
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.
Analysis: 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…read more

Active for first time this season
Miller (hamstring) is listed as active Thursday versus the Broncos.
Analysis: 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.

Clear of injury report
Miller (hamstring) wasn't listed on the Saints' estimated injury report Monday.
Analysis: 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, with Jamaal Williams and Jordan Mims mixing in behind him. Coach Dennis Allen told John Hendrix of SI.com earlier Monday that he expects Miller will be "ready to go this week." 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…read more

Coach optimistic for Thursday debut
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.
Analysis: 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 he's cleared to play, Miller will jostle with Jamaal Williams for backup touches behind Alvin Kamara.

Not suiting up
Miller (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, John Hendrix of SI.com reports.
Analysis: Miller missed the first five weeks of the season with a hamstring issue and was activated off injured reserve Saturday. Even after turning in three full practices, however, he'll be inactive once again. Jamaal Williams will remain the top backup to Alvin Kamara against Tampa Bay as a result.

Activated off IR
Miller (hamstring) was activated off injured reserve Saturday, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports. The second-year back still remains questionable for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers.
Analysis: Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football in a second report suggested Miller likely won't see a significant role right out of the gate, which makes sense given the young back's history of injuries throughout his career. Expect Alvin Kamara to be the main focal point on offense, with rookie quarterback Spencer Rattler making his first career start in replacement of the injured Derek Carr (oblique).

Questionable for Week 6
Miller (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, Matthew Paras of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
Analysis: Miller has been a full participant in each practice since last Friday, so if he's held out again this Sunday it might be a matter of not having a role more so than anything to do with his hamstring. The Saints will need to activate him from injured reserve by 4:00 p.m. ET on Saturday in order for Miller to have a chance to play against the Bucs on Sunday.

Another full listing Wednesday
Miller (hamstring) was listed as a full participant for Wednesday's walkthrough.
Analysis: Though Miller was deemed a full participant in the Saints' final two practices for Week 5 and wasn't listed with a designation Saturday, the team downgraded him to doubtful Sunday and then ruled him out ahead of Monday's game at Kansas City. As of Wednesday, he's been without restrictions in three straight sessions, but the team still has two weeks to make a decision to activate him from injured reserve. He'll still have a chance to make his season debut this Sunday versus the Buccaneers,…read more

Ruled out for MNF
Miller (hamstring) won't suit up Monday against the Chiefs, Ross Jackson of LouisianaSports.net reports.
Analysis: This development isn't surprising considering Miller was previously considered doubtful. He returned to practice in the week leading up to Monday's game but remains on injured reserve due to a hamstring injury. Miller's next chance to play will be Sunday against the Buccaneers, and his return would be preceded by an official move activating the second-year running back from IR.

Now doubtful for MNF
The Saints have downgraded Miller (hamstring) to doubtful for Monday's game at Kansas City.
Analysis: Designated for return from injured reserve this week, Miller opened with a limited practice Thursday before capping it with back-to-back full practices. On Saturday, the Saints didn't even tag the second-year pro with a designation for Week 5 action, only to do an about-face a day later with the downgrade. Miller thus appears unlikely to be activated from IR by Monday's 4:00 p.m. ET deadline to do so.

Full practice Friday
Miller (hamstring) was a full participant in practice Friday, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.
Analysis: Miller upgraded to full participation Friday after logging a limited session Thursday. He's trending in the right direction ahead of Monday's game against the Chiefs, but Miller will need to be officially activated from injured reserve before he can play. If such a move transpires, Miller would likely jostle with Jamaal Williams for touches behind Alvin Kamara (hip/ribs), the latter of whom has kicked off Week 5 prep with consecutive limited practices.

Saints head coach Dennis Allen said that Miller (hamstring) practiced Thursday, John Hendrix of SI.com reports.
Analysis: With Miller making his return to practice for the first time since late July, the Saints will now have 21 days to evaluate him for reinstatement from injured reserve. Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.football previously reported last week that Miller was expected to be available for the Saints in Monday's game against the Chiefs, but Allen suggested that the running back is considered day-to-day.

Expected back Week 5
Miller (hamstring) is expected to resume practicing Wednesday and return from injured reserve for Week 5 at Kansas City, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.
Analysis: Miller apparently has made enough progress to return from injured reserve when first eligible. He's been bothered by a hamstring injury since the start of training camp, with Saints coach Dennis Allen expressing frustration on multiple occasions about Miller's inability to stay healthy since the Saints took him in the third round of the 2023 NFL Draft. Miller was rehabbing an MCL injury at the time he was drafted and then dealt with knee, hamstring and ankle injuries during his rookie season.…read more

Out for at least four games
Miller (hamstring) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday with a designation to return.
Analysis: Miller is ineligible for the first four games of the regular season after missing most of training camp and all three of the Saints' preseason games. Coach Dennis Allen has been critical of the running back's injury problems to this point in his career, but the Saints may nonetheless give their 2023 third-round pick a chance to show what he can do if/when he stays healthy for more than a few weeks at a time. For now, Alvin Kamara and Jamaal Williams top the depth chart at running back, with…read more

Will start on IR
Miller (hamstring) has been placed on injured reserve with a designation to return, which will force him to miss at least the first four games of the year, Sean Fazende of Fox 8 New Orleans reports.
Analysis: Miller hasn't yet resumed practicing since suffering a hamstring injury at the very beginning of training camp, so it's not much of a surprise that he'll be unavailable for the start of the regular season. That could provide Jordan Mims, who led the Saints in rushing yards this preseason, a clearer path to a spot on the 53-man roster. Once officially placed on IR, Miller's first opportunity to return to action will come in Week 5 against Kansas City.

Remains out for preseason finale
Miller (hamstring) did not play in Sunday's 30-27 preseason loss to the Titans.
Analysis: Miller has now missed all three preseason games for the Saints since suffering a hamstring injury July 24. With his absence now extending about a full month, it appears likely that the 2023 third-rounder could start the regular season on IR. His case was not helped by the fact that New Orleans' starters did not play Sunday, allowing backup running backs Jordan Mims and Jacob Kibodi to combine for 17 rushes for 92 yards while taking the bulk of the team's carries. Even if Miller is not placed on…read more

May begin season on IR
Miller (hamstring) may be placed on injured reserve to start the season, which would rule him out for the first four games, Jeff Nowak of The Big 870 New Orleans reports.
Analysis: Placing Miller on IR would allow the Saints to keep him around without dedicating a 53-man roster spot on a young player that hasn't practiced at all this summer. The 2023 third-round pick had issues with his knee, hamstring and ankle as a rookie, and he's now been sidelined by another hamstring injury since making an early exit from the first practice of training camp. Alvin Kamara and Jamaal Williams are likely to open the season atop the depth chart at running back, with the No. 3 role…read more

Remains out in preseason game No. 2
Miller (hamstring) did not play in Sunday's 16-10 preseason loss to the 49ers.
Analysis: Miller has now missed each of the Saints' first two preseason games since injury his hamstring in late July. The 2023 third-round pick's continued absence has drawn increasing pressure from coach Dennis Allen, who reiterated Friday that it will be "challenging" for the running back to make the team if he's not practicing. While it's unlikely the team will move on from Miller this early in his career, he could certainly lose out on his opportunity to win the No. 2 running back spot over veteran…read more

Unable to make case for a role
Miller (hamstring) still isn't practicing, and coach Dennis Allen said Wednesday that it's "challenging" and "hasn't gotten easier" for the running back to make the team without practicing, Patrick Magee of the New Orleans Advocate reports.
Analysis: Allen essentially doubled down on his comments from late July, when he was asked about Miller and told reporters, "it's hard to make the team from the training room." The Saints are unlikely to actually cut a 22-year-old that they took in the third round of the 2023 NFL Draft, but there's no denying the criticism has dampened Miller's fantasy outlook for the upcoming season, with thoughts of forcing a timeshare/committee replaced by concerns the young RB might be stuck behind both Alvin Kamara…read more

Sits out preseason opener
Miller (hamstring) did not play in Saturday's 16-14 preseason win against Arizona.
Analysis: Miller has been sidelined since suffering a hamstring injury in New Orleans' first training camp practice July 24. The 2023 third-round pick dealt with numerous injuries during his rookie campaign, limiting him to 41 carries and 10 receptions across just eight regular-season appearances. When healthy, Miller is expected to compete with Jamaal Williams for the No. 2 running back spot behind Alvin Kamara.

Injures hamstring at practice
Miller exited the Saints' first training camp Wednesday due to a hamstring injury , Luke Johnson of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
Analysis: The severity of Miller's injury remains uncertain, but it's an unfortunate start to camp for the 2023 third-round pick. Head coach Dennis Allen said bluntly that Miller is "going to have to figure out how to stay healthy," adding that "it's hard to make the team from the training room," per Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com.

Leading rusher in Week 18 win
Miller posted 13 rushes for 73 yards and one touchdown and caught his only target for six yards during Sunday's 48-17 win over the Falcons.
Analysis: Miller made the most of his first game since the Week 9 win against Chicago, as he logged season highs across the board to go along with the first rushing touchdown of his career. The Saints were without starting running back Alvin Kamara (ankle), who was inactive. As a result, the team turned to veteran backup Jamaal Williams and Miller. The rookie running back got off to a strong start with a three-yard rushing score in the second quarter on just his fourth carry of the game, and he finished…read more

Miller (ankle/illness) is listed available for Sunday's tilt against the Falcons.
Analysis: After limited participation in back-to-back practices earlier in the week, Miller logged a DNP Friday due to an illness on top of his ankle issue. However, he is seemingly feeling better and will suit up for the first time since Week 9. With Alvin Kamara (ankle) inactive, Miller and Jordan Mims will be the depth options behind Jamaal Williams in the backfield.

With Alvin Kamara (ankle) questionable, Jamaal Williams could be the top healthy running back for the Saints on Sunday, with Miller possibly working in a change-of-pace role if the rookie plays and Kamara doesn't.

Miller officially is listed as questionable after logging limited practices throughout the week, and he now seems more likely than not to miss a seventh consecutive game.

Analysis: Miller hasn't practiced or played in a game since spraining his ankle Week 9 against the Bears. Even if he gets healthy within the next week or two, he'll have a hard time earning touches in an offense that also employs Alvin Kamara, Jamaal Williams and Taysom Hill.

Remains out in Week 12
Miller (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Falcons.
Analysis: New Orleans' Week 11 bye didn't provide enough time for Miller to recover, as he failed to practice in any capacity leading up to Sunday's game in Atlanta and will remain sidelined due to the ankle sprain he suffered in Week 9 against the Bears. The rookie running back's next chance to suit up will come Dec. 3 against the Lions, while Alvin Kamara and Jamaal Williams will likely be New Orleans' only active running backs again in Week 12.

Won't play against Minnesota
Miller (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Vikings, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports.
Analysis: Miller didn't practice at all this week after spraining his ankle in the Week 9 win over the Bears. The rookie's absence could open up more carries for Jamaal Williams and more targets for Alvin Kamara, though Miller has played single-digit snaps in each of the last three games.

Idle for Thursday's practice
Miller (ankle) isn't participating in Thursday's practice, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports.
Analysis: Miller appears to be trending in the wrong direction for Sunday's game against the Vikings; he's now been out of commission for the Saints' first two Week 10 practices. Even when healthy, Miller has been handling only a light role of late following Jamaal Williams' return from injured reserve Week 7. Over the ensuing three games, Miller has served as the clear No. 3 back behind Alvin Kamara and Williams, playing single-digit snaps on offense in each of those contests while carrying just four…read more

Misses practice Wednesday
Miller (ankle) didn't practice Wednesday.
Analysis: Miller made an early departure from this past Sunday's win against the Bears and eventually was diagnosed with a sprained ankle. The severity of the issue hasn't been revealed, but it isn't a great sign for the rookie third-round pick that he's kicking off Week 10 prep with an absence. Miller's status will be monitored as the weekend approaches to see if he has a chance to suit up Sunday at Minnesota.

Getting ankle checked out
Miller suffered a sprained ankle in Sunday's 24-17 win over the Bears and is scheduled to undergo an MRI to determine the severity of his injury, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.
Analysis: Miller carried once for zero yards before leaving in the fourth quarter, when he sustained the ankle injury on his lone reception of the day, a 31-yard catch-and-run. The Saints will hope that the MRI reveals nothing more than a low-grade ankle sprain, but even an injury of that sort would still put the rookie running back at risk of missing the team's Week 10 game versus Minnesota.

Suffers ankle injury Sunday
Miller injured his ankle during Sunday's game against the Bears.
Analysis: MIller had two touches prior to his exit in the fourth quarter: a 31-yard catch and a carry for no yards. He got hurt on the second one and visited the medical tent before the Saints reported the injury. If Miller sticks on the sideline, New Orleans will have Alvin Kamara and Jamaal Williams on hand out of its backfield.

Active in Week 9
Miller (illness) is listed as active Sunday against the Bears, John Hendrix of SI.com reports.
Analysis: Miller popped up on the Saints' final Week 9 practice report Friday with an illness that kept him out of drills, but the ailment won't impact his availability for Sunday's game. Since Jamaal Williams returned from his IR stint Week 7, Miller has been sparsely used behind Alvin Kamara and Williams, turning just four touches into 19 yards from scrimmage over the last two contests. A similar role likely is on the docket for Miller this time around.

Questionable with illness
Miller is questionable for Sunday's game against the Bears due to an illness, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Miller was unable to practice Friday due to the ailment, leaving his availability up in the air for Sunday's contest. Even if available, the 21-year-old is unlikely to have a notable offensive role since Alvin Kamara and Jamaal Williams are both healthy.

Logs four touches in win
Miller accrued three carries for 10 yards and reeled in his only target for nine yards during Sunday's 38-27 victory against the Colts.
Analysis: Miller worked his way back into the Saints' rushing rotation after going without a touch in the Week 7 loss to Jacksonville. Yet, the running back still played less than 10 offense snaps for the second week in a row. Miller wasn't expected to handle a significant role this year, and he appears set to see sparse playing time while stuck behind running backs Alvin Kamara and Jamaal Williams as well as versatile rushing-and-receiving threat Taysom Hill moving forward.

Reps capped by shoulder injury
Miller was tending to shoulder soreness prior to Thursday's game versus Jacksonville, Brooke Kirchhofer of NOF Network reports.
Analysis: Miller played just three offensive snaps in New Orleans' loss versus the Jaguars in Week 7, and that he was nursing an injury may at least partially explain why. Barring a setback, he should see more playing time Sunday at Indianapolis, but that still doesn't mean he'll be a reliable fantasy contributor.

Nonfactor as RB3
Miller had zero carries during Thursday's 31-24 loss against the Jaguars.
Analysis: Miller played a season-low three offensive snaps behind veteran running backs Alvin Kamara (66) and Jamaal Williams (20), as the latter rejoined the Saints backfield after sitting out the last four games on IR with a hamstring injury. The rookie out of TCU also did not line up on special teams at all, and all 68 of his snaps this season have come on offense.

Rejoined by Williams
Miller is welcoming back Jamaal Williams (hamstring) to the Saints backfield for Thursday's game against the Jaguars, which may relegate the rookie to the team's No. 3 running back behind Alvin Kamara and Williams.
Analysis: In four appearances this season, Miller's usage has been sporadic, with a range of touches from two to 16. Overall, he's averaging 3.0 yards on his 24 carries and also hauled in seven of eight targets for 71 yards. Kamara has dominated the RB work since returning from suspension, racking up 75 touches for 285 yards from scrimmage and one rushing TD over the last three games. There's a chance Kamara hands off some short-yardage reps to Williams in the latter's return, but that could leave Miller…read more

Minimal usage in loss
Miller recorded two rushes for minus-1 yard and caught one of two targets for 13 yards during Sunday's 20-13 loss to the Texans.
Analysis: For the second week in a row, Miller was the only Saints running back to see any playing time behind starter Alvin Kamara. However, the rookie backup played sparingly this week (18 offensive snaps) compared to when he totaled 90 yards in the Week 5 blowout versus New Orleans.

Miller compiled 12 carries for 37 yards and hauled in all four targets for 53 yards during Sunday's 34-0 victory against the Patriots.
Analysis: Miller logged nine carries and two receptions during the second half of the blowout win for New Orleans. The rookie out of TCU saw some solid usage in the first half while spelling No. 1 running back Alvin Kamara, who tallied 22 carries for 80 yards and a touchdown.

Analysis: Miller was limited to just five offensive snaps Sunday after he tallied 34 yards on nine carries during his NFL debut against Green Bay in Week 3. The rookie's role was replaced entirely by No. 1 running back Alvin Kamara, who made his season debut after serving a suspension for the first three games of the season.

Analysis: Miller was the second running back on the field for New Orleans during his NFL debut Sunday. After veteran Tony Jones logged the first rushing attempt on the opening drive, the third-round rookie logged three carries on the Saints' second offensive series; however, as was the case for most of the game, he never managed to make any significant impact.

With a trio of full practices under his belt this week, though, he's been cleared for game action.

Analysis: Miller hasn't practiced since late August and thus seems more likely than not to miss what would've been his first regular-season NFL games. It's the first of three games RB Alvin Kamara is suspended for, leaving Jamaal Williams as the leader of the New Orleans backfield.

However, it appears the rookie running back may still be shut down for a bit.

Could play more while Kamara's out
Miller has an opportunity to earn a larger role early in the season, as Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports that Alvin Kamara will be suspended for the first three games of the season for his role in a 2022 altercation in Las Vegas.
Analysis: Miller's still behind offseason addition Jamaal Williams on the depth chart, but Williams has never reached 40 receptions in a season, which could create an opening for the rookie in passing situations while Kamara serves his three-game suspension. Miller believes his receiving skills were underutilized in college at TCU, and the 2023 third-round pick will have a chance to showcase his pass-catching acumen in an expanded role to begin his NFL career.

Miller said Wednesday that his receiving skills were underutilized in college, John DeShazier of the Saints' official website reports. "It's something I've kind of had, but in college I couldn't show it a whole lot," he said. "But in the offseason, when I got cleared I was working on a lot of that stuff."
Analysis: Miller also mentioned taking route-running advice from Alvin Kamara, who missed Wednesday's practice to meet with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell. The likelihood of a Kamara suspension increases the chances that Miller will get snaps early in the season, even after the rookie was held out of spring practices due to the MCL injury suffered in the College Football Playoff semifinal.

Analysis: As a result, the 2023 third-rounder, who suffered an MCL injury to his right knee in TCU's College Football Playoff semifinal against Michigan, is eligible to practice and now will look to secure a role in a Saints backfield that's led by Alvin Kamara and Jamaal Williams. As long as the top duo are available, Miller doesn't have a clear path to carries, but the rookie could gain some sleeper appeal if either Kamara or Williams miss time for any reason down the road.
