Saints Confirm Season-Ending Injuries to Erik McCoy and Kendre Miller

Coach Kellen Moore said tests confirmed a torn biceps for McCoy plus a torn ACL for Miller, prompting immediate roster decisions.

Overview

  • McCoy will undergo surgery and is expected to be placed on injured reserve, Moore said.
  • Luke Fortner finished at center in Chicago as New Orleans evaluates options that include Cesar Ruiz and Torricelli Simpkins III.
  • Miller’s absence elevates rookie Devin Neal’s workload behind Alvin Kamara, according to Moore.
  • Both injuries occurred in Sunday’s 26-14 loss to the Bears, dropping the Saints to 1-6.
  • Moore called the news "really unfortunate" for key contributors on an already struggling offense, with the Buccaneers and Rams next on the schedule.
