Kendre Miller In The Concussion Protocol
2 days agoNew Orleans Saints running back Kendre Miller (concussion) is in the league's concussion protocol after suffering a concussion in the Week 17 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday. Miller didn't play the entire second half and finished with only four touches and 19 scrimmage yards. The Saints were also without starter Alvin Kamara (groin) and could very well be again for the Week 18 regular-season finale against the division-rival Tampa Bay Buccaneers, too. If both Miller and Kamara are not cleared for this weekend, Clyde Edwards-Helaire would likely lead the Saints' backfield, with veteran Jamaal Williams serving in a backup role. In his first game action of 2024, Edwards-Helaire led the team's backfield with only five carries for 20 yards while catching two of four targets for 10 yards. With the Saints already eliminated from the playoffs, Miller will likely be fighting an uphill battle to play against Tampa.
