The New Orleans Saints have released running back Kendre Miller ahead of their matchup against the Cleveland Browns. Despite leading the team this season with 57 carries and 159 rushing yards, the 2023 third-round pick struggled with efficiency, averaging just 2.8 yards per carry, and dealt with significant injury issues throughout his career.
