Saints Seem to Flip Kendre Miller, Alvin Kamara in RB Depth Chart

Billy Heyen of Heavy reports that the New Orleans Saints appear to have shifted their running back hierarchy by elevating Kendre Miller over veteran Alvin Kamara heading into Week 6 against the New York Giants. With Travis Etienne sidelined on injured reserve due to a hamstring injury, Miller led the backfield in touches during Week 5 against the Minnesota Vikings, finishing with 10 carries for 30 yards and a touchdown.

In contrast, Kamara was limited to just five total touches after dealing with a back issue leading up to the game. Heyen notes that depth chart tracker Ourlads officially updated Miller to the starting running back role over Kamara, while CJ Donaldson, Zamir White, and recent signing Jarquez Hunter provide further backfield depth under head coach Kellen Moore.
