Saints running backs gain opportunities with Alvin Kamara sidelined

Alvin Kamara of the New Orleans Saints is expected to miss at least a month due to a sprained MCL suffered during a joint practice with the Dallas Cowboys. His absence opens additional practice reps for running backs Kendre Miller and Devin Neal, who are trying to secure roster spots. While Miller had previously dealt with a back injury, he recently returned for practice, while Neal is also healthy after a hamstring issue. Audric Estime remains sidelined with an ankle injury, limiting his chances. The Saints will evaluate Miller and Neal more closely in the coming weeks as they prepare for roster cuts.
