Kendre Miller Missed Practice on Thursday

Thursday, August 6, 5:07 PM

New Orleans Saints running back Kendre Miller (back) did not participate in Thursday's practice and is considered "day-to-day," according to head coach Kellen Moore. After being a limited participant in the previous few sessions, Miller was downgraded due to a back issue. The former third-round pick has dealt with injuries throughout his NFL career, including an ACL tear he suffered in Week 7 of last season. Miller is currently behind running backs Travis Etienne and Alvin Kamara and is competing for the RB3 role with second-year back Devin Neal. This back issue, along with recovery from a major knee injury, should keep him off the fantasy radar for the 2026 season unless he is traded to a better situation or injuries occur to the other Saints' backs.

Lan Larison News

Lan Larison Shines as Receiver in Preseason Opener

Friday, August 14, 3:37 AM

New England Patriots running back Lan Larison was stymied on the ground during Thursday's preseason opener against the Colts, rushing for just one yard on seven carries. However, he was much more productive in the passing game, catching six of his eight targets for 38 receiving yards. Larison is no stranger to producing in the preseason, and it's too early to say he's going to make the 53-man roster. With that being said, he certainly made a positive impression on the coaching staff Thursday. A 2025 undrafted free agent out of UC Davis, Larison spent his rookie season on injured reserve with a foot injury. New England's backfield is headlined by TreVeyon Henderson and Rhamondre Stevenson, but we could see Larison push for a back-end roster spot if he continues to produce throughout the preseason.
