Initial belief is that Kendre Miller avoided a major injury, which is a good thing, but we'll know for sure after further testing, per source.

Miller is thought to have a knee sprain on the same knee he's been rehabbing during the offseason. Miller could miss some time, and with Kamara suspended to start the season, it leaves Williams as the RB1. Washington and Prentice are next up. If Miller has to miss a significant amount of time, the Saints could be in the mix to bring in another RB.

Saints RB Mark Ingram suffered a slight tear of his MCL in the loss to the Bucs, sources say, knocking him out indefinitely and likely ending his season.

Rapoport went on to say he’s out 4-6 weeks, but no surgery is needed. With the regular season only being five more weeks and the Saints likely not making it to the playoffs, Ingram almost certainly won't be rushed back to the lineup. No Ingram could mean more touches for Kamara, but again, with the playoffs pretty much out of reach, Johnson and Washington could also see some work.

Jeremy Fowler of ESPN reports that the Saints are signing former Cardinals and Texans running back David Johnson to their practice squad.

Johnson has been out of the league since wrapping up last season with Houston. The story said the Saints also made an unsuccessful waiver claim for Eno Benjamin this week, so they’re clearly looking for something else to go with Kamara in the backfield with Ingram missing the last couple of games with an injury. If Ingram remains out, Johnson could battle with Washington for the RB2 role after the team cut ties with Jordan Howard and Derrick Gore.

Saints RB Mark Ingram suffered a grade 2 MCL sprain, which means he’s likely out 3-4 weeks. Could have been a lot worse for Ingram, who will be back soon.

In fantasy terms, this is unlikely to affect Alvin Kamara, whose usage is impervious to who is on the depth chart with him. Dwayne Washington would be the beneficiary of Ingram missing some time, as he was the only other running back to log a rushing attempt (four), while hybrid athlete Taysom Hill had ten attempts.

Alvin Kamara was participating at practice today. Taysom Hill and Jameis Winston were present but didn't appear to be participating much in the open portion of practice.

Reports said Kamara was close to playing in Week 2, so this is at least a positive sign Kamara is on the right track toward a return for Week 3. We should know more later in the week and the Saints have an early Sunday game at Carolina.

Head coach Dennis Allen says the Saints were "holding out hope all the way" for Alvin Kamara to go on Sunday per another snippet from Jeff Nowak.

The backfield behind Kamara was split into oblivion between the running back room and Taysom Hill on Sunday, resulting in an utter headache. It sounds like a solid possibility that the RB1 could be back in time for Week 3's contest versus the Panthers.

The Saints are signing RB Latavius Murray to their practice squad.

Worth noting that Alvin Kamara is currently dealing with a rib issue, Yates' tweet went on to say.

Saints running back Tony Jones Jr. needed a cart to get back to the locker room after going down during Sunday’s loss to the Giants and he’s set to miss more time as a result of his ankle injury.

Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Jones is expected to miss three or four weeks while he recovers from the injury.

The story said that timeframe suggests a stop on the injured reserve is in his future and his roster spot could go to one of the backs that the Saints worked out on Tuesday. Washington likely moves up to the RB2 spot behind Kamara while any newly signed back should get the RB3 role.
