Kendre Miller - Sits out preseason openerMiller (hamstring) did not play in Saturday's 16-14 preseason win against Arizona.
ImpactMiller has been sidelined since suffering a hamstring injury in New Orleans' first training camp practice July 24th. The 2023 third-round pick dealt with numerous injuries during his rookie campaign, limiting him to 41 carries and 10 receptions across just eight regular-season appearances. When healthy, Miller is expected to compete with Jamaal Williams for the No.2 running back spot behind Alvin Kamara. But, Miller will have to work his way back onto the playing field in order to unseat Williams in the depth chart. He'll look to get healthy in time for next Sunday's road exhibition against the 49ers.

Charlie Smyth - Hits game-winner in preseason debutSmyth converted his lone field-goal atttempt during Saturday's 16-14 victory over Arizona.
ImpactSmyth got his first and only chance for a field goal with eight seconds remaining in the fourth quarter, and he did not disappoint hitting a 37-yarder to seal the victory for New Orleans. The 22-year-old first got on the field for the opening kickoff of the second half, as returning starter Blake Grupe handled the kicking duties in the first half. However, Grupe did step back in for the team's only point-after-attempt of the second half, and he went 2-for-2 on field-goal tries for the game. Smyth joined New Orleans through the NFL's International Player Pathway by way of Ireland, and he's likely still considered a longshot to unseat Grupe as the Saints' starting kicker this preseason. His next opportunity will come in Sunday's road contest against the 49ers.

Stanley Morgan Jr. - Logs one catch in preseason openerMorgan (hip) caught one of four targets for 13 yards during Saturday's 16-14 preseason win against the Cardinals.
ImpactMorgan was dealing with a hip injury leading into Saturday's exhibition, but he managed to play 31 offensive snaps and should be healthy moving forward. The 27-year-old first got on the field in the second quarter and was out there for the final offensive series of the game, and he ended up tied for a team-high in targets along with second-year wideout A.T. Perry and Chris Olave. Morgan's availability should help his case to eventually make the final 53-man roster, asfellow wideouts Equanimeous St. Brown (hamstring), Mason Tipton (hamstring) and Bub Means all did not play.

Khaleke Hudson - Absent from practiceHudson (undisclosed) was unavailable for the Saints' practice Sunday, Ross Jackson of WWL Louisiana reports.
ImpactHudson finished with four total tackles in Saturday's 16-14 victory over the Cardinals in the team's preseason opener. He appears to have left the contest a little dinged up and he'll attempt to get back out on the practice field prior to next Sunday's matchup with San Francisco.

Mac McCain - Unavailable for practiceMcCain (undisclosed) was absent from the Saints' practice Sunday, Ross Jackson of WWL Louisiana reports.
ImpactMcCain compiled three tackles in Saturday's 16-14 win over the Cardinals, but he may have picked up an injury in the process. The cornerback will look to be back out on the practice field before next Sunday's matchup with the 49ers.

Millard Bradford - Absent from practiceBradford (undisclosed) did not participate in the Saints' practice Sunday, Ross Jackson of WWL Louisiana reports.
ImpactBradford recorded a tackle in Saturday's 16-14 win over the Cardinals in the team's preseason opener, but he appears to have exited the game a little worse for wear. He'll look to return to practice at some point this week ahead of the Saints' matchup with the 49ers next Sunday.

Isaiah Stalbird - Dealing with ankle injuryStalbird suffered an ankle sprain in Saturday's 16-14 win over the Cardinals, John Hendrix of SI.com reports.
ImpactStalbird left Saturday's contest a little worse for wear, and he could miss multiple weeks of action, according to head coach Dennis Allen. The linebacker is battling for a spot on the 53-man roster, so the injury comes at a rather unfortunate time for Stalbird.
