Sun Oct 13 18:20:00 UTC 2024: ## Saints Activate Kendre Miller, Make Roster Moves Ahead of Buccaneers Matchup

**New Orleans, LA** – The New Orleans Saints have made several roster moves ahead of their crucial NFC South showdown with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday.

The biggest news is the activation of running back Kendre Miller from injured reserve. Miller, a rookie who has yet to see significant playing time, could see more action as the Saints are expected to rely heavily on the running game with starting quarterback Derek Carr sidelined and backup Taysom Hill ruled out for the game. Alvin Kamara and Jamaal Williams will lead the backfield, but Miller could see some touches as the team leans on their ground game.

To make room for Miller on the active roster, the Saints placed safety Will Harris on injured reserve due to a hamstring injury. Harris is expected to miss at least the next four games, leaving Tyrann Mathieu and Jordan Howden as the primary safeties.

Additionally, the Saints have elevated safety Johnathan Abram and guard Chris Reed to the active roster for Sunday’s game. Abram, in his second season with the Saints, has experience in the defensive backfield and will likely be a key player against the Buccaneers. Reed, who joined the Saints’ practice squad late last month, is expected to fill in for several injured offensive linemen.

The Saints are looking to rebound from a three-game losing streak and will be looking to their running game and a solid defensive effort to secure a victory against their divisional rivals. The game is scheduled for noon Central Time at the Superdome.
