Miller was not part of the injury report last week. He was a full participant in practice sessions on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. All signs point toward Miller playing on Monday.

With Kamara nursing a groin injury, Miller will likely get more reps.

Miller has played four games this season and has posted 130 yards with a touchdown on 28 carries. Notably, he started the campaign on the injured reserve list. He was added to the active Saints squad in Week 6.
