The New Orleans Saints were able to let out a sigh of relief as they get their running back room back to full strength in the next week of practice after the first preseason game.
Kendre Miller had to leave the game against the Kansas City Chiefs early with a knee injury, a scary moment for all. He was able to avoid a major setback and is already back to practice. Kirk Merritt is another running back that was sidelined, he was dealing with a hamstring injury that made him unavailable, he also returned to practice.
Getting both of those running backs back and also signing former LSU Tigers and Arizona Cardinals running back Darrel Williams will give them a much deeper room for the upcoming game against the Los Angeles Chargers. By the second half of the Chiefs game, they were left with just Ellis Merriweather to carry the load.
