Saints expected to cut Kendre Miller while reshaping backfield
Summary

The New Orleans Saints are projected to part ways with Kendre Miller as they finalize their roster. The team signed Travis Etienne from the Jaguars to enhance their running back position alongside Alvin Kamara. ESPN's roster projection indicates Miller, who has struggled with injuries and missed significant playing time, is unlikely to make the cut as training camp approaches. Miller, a third-round pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, has only played eight, six, and seven games in his seasons with the Saints and will need an impressive performance in camp to remain on the team.
