Saints running back Kendre Miller said he expects a bigger role with Alvin Kamara down.

Miller filled in early in the season last year, getting double-digit carries in weeks four and five, producing 106 yards and a TD on those 21 carries. Miller would get hurt and give way to Neal who also needed to carry the load later in the season before getting hurt himself. Fast forward to today, and with Kamara scheduled to miss some time, and reports Monday that Chandler may have suffered a significant injury, the Saints are suddenly shorthanded at RB. Etienne is the clear starter, but Miller and Neal could both see bigger roles, at least until Kamara can return to the lineup. It's always time to pay attention when the backup RBs are another injury away from seeing even more time and that's the case with both Miller and Neal.

Jets running back Breece Hall has missed the last week of work with a groin injury, but the team isn’t showing much concern about his status for the season opener.

Head coach Aaron Glenn said on Monday, via multiple reporters, that Hall is on track to play against the Titans on September 13.

Glenn said that the team also expects tight end Kenyon Sadiq to play in the opener. The first-round pick has been sidelined after a procedure to address a hernia.

The story said video from Monday’s practice show Hall moving well on a side field as he goes through the rehab process. Hall was expected to miss 2-3 weeks but seems to be on track with that timeline which would have him ready to go Week 1 at Tennessee in an early window game.

RB Ty Chandler suffered a knee injury against the Rams that is feared to be serious, per source. Going through the process now, but expectation is that he will be down for a while.

Not good news for Chandler who was always a capable fantasy fill-in back with the Vikings before coming to the Saints. With Kamara now banged up, Chandler was possibly in the mix with Miller and Neal behind Etienne.
