Miller played his college football at TCU. During the offseason, Miller dealt with multiple injuries that put a damper on his preseason action, but he’s healthy now, and he’s the backup running back <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/saints-news-derek-carr-text-josh-mcdaniels-raiders-week-1-win" rel="noopener">for the Saints</a>. Alvin Kamara is the go-to guy in New Orleans, but this weekend against the Green Bay Packers, Miller is going to get his shot. He hasn’t appeared in a game <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/saints-news-new-orleans-marcus-maye-suspension-substance-abuse" rel="noopener">yet for the Saints</a>, but he is eager to get on the field. When he makes his debut this weekend, he wants to make a statement.</p><p>“I don’t sit too well at backup,” Kendre Miller said according to an article from nola.com. “Even though I respect Kamara and everything he got for the Saints, and everything he did, but <a href="https://www.nola.com/sports/rod_walker/saints-rb-kendre-miller-gets-to-make-debut-against-team-he-once-cheered-for/article_87637008-58d1-11ee-981c-c343bd519e48.html?utm_medium=social&amp;utm_source=twitter&amp;utm_campaign=user-share" rel="noopener">I’m coming for that</a> No. 1.”</p><p>Miller knows that these opportunities aren’t going to come around often. He is a rookie backup with a big name running back ahead of him on the depth chart. He has to take advantage of every snap that he plays.</p><p>“You just have to take every opportunity you get,” Miller continued. “I have an opportunity if my name gets called. So I’ll be ready.”</p><p>The Saints are off to a great start to the year as they are 2-0 with wins against the Tennessee Titans and Carolina Panthers. This weekend’s road battle agains the Packers is going to be a tricky one, and it’ll also be interesting to see how Miller plays in his NFL debut.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

This is a big opportunity for the Saints to start the season strong as they are at home and they also come into the game as the favorite. Having their rookie running back would certainly help the cause, and despite not practicing at all this week, there is still a <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/saints-news-new-orleans-positive-injury-update-kendre-miller-second-preseason" rel="noopener">chance that Miller plays</a>.</p><p>Kendre Miller is <a href="https://twitter.com/ByLukeJohnson/status/1700231280594714806" rel="noopener">currently listed as questionable</a> for Sunday’s game against the Titans, according to a tweet from Luke Johnson. J.T. Gray and Tre’Quan Smith are the only injured Saints players with an official decision, and they are both out for Sunday. Because of the fact that Miller didn’t practice at all this week, it seems unlikely that he’ll get any significant playing time, but we still could see the young RB’s Saints debut this weekend.</p><p>Last season at TCU football, Miller had 224 carries for 1,399 yards. That’s good for 6.2 yards per carry, and he also added 17 rushing touchdowns. Miller had a spectacular season for the Horned Frogs and he is capable of doing the same thing in the NFL. Once he returns to full strength, he might end up surprising a lot of people with his ability at the running back position.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

He was lucky to avoid any serious damage, and head coach Dennis Allen said <a href="https://twitter.com/Kat_Terrell/status/1691590317747712170" rel="noopener">he will travel</a> to California with the team ahead of their next contest against the Los Angeles Chargers, per Katherine Terrell of ESPN.</p><p>The Saints just signed former Chiefs RB Darrel Williams to fill out the backfield amid the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/saints-news-darrel-williams-chiefs-running-backs-alvin-kamara-kendre-miller" rel="noopener">Miller injury and Kamara suspension</a>.

Dennis Allen went 7-10 in his first year, and now has a new QB in Derek Carr. They hold +130 odds to bring home the division, aided by the fact that each team has a brand new quarterback at the helm. The Falcons are next at +210, followed by the Panthers with a rookie at +360.</p><p>The division is certainly up for grabs, and the Saints will rely on Carr’s experience as they rotate through RB injuries and suspensions to start off the season. The team will hope Miller is indeed good to go and overcomes any knee issues to help contribute in his rookie year.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
