The New Orleans Saints received a scare on Sunday in their win versus the Kansas City Chiefs. Running back Kendre Miller left with a knee sprain. They got some good news regarding their third-round rookie on Monday, though. Sources are reporting that he suffered a knee sprain, but he won't need surgery.
Tom Pelissero says that there is optimism that he will be ready for Week 1. That would be best-case scenario for Miller and the Saints.
Miller was in line for an increased workload early in the season due to Alvin Kamara's three-game suspension. Now, we will wait to see if he is healthy and available to open the year against the Tennessee Titans. At the very least, Miller avoided major injury in the Saints' win.
