US EditionInjuries to Kendre Miller and Erik McCoy Add to Saints’ Misery After 6th Loss in 7 Games
Saints center Erik McCoy and running back Kendre Miller are sidelined with torn biceps and ACL, impacting a struggling offense ranked 24th in yards and 29th in points.
- On Monday, Saints coach Kellen Moore announced that center Erik McCoy and running back Kendre Miller are out for the season after tests confirmed a torn biceps and torn ACL respectively in Sunday's 26-14 loss to the Chicago Bears.
- Sitting at 1-6, the Saints face mounting pressure with an offense ranked 24th in total yards and 29th in points, while the running game gained just 44 net yards on 17 attempts.
- Erik McCoy, long regarded as a two-time Pro Bowl selection and team captain, has been a steady communicator, while Kendre Miller rushed for a career-high 193 yards but has injury history including prior IR stints.
- This week New Orleans hosts the NFC South-leading Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and Saints quarterback Spencer Rattler's three interceptions and four sacks dropped his starting record to 1-12.
- The loss increases the risk that the New Orleans Saints could miss the playoffs for a fifth straight season and may turn to backup Tyler Shough if Spencer Rattler doesn't improve soon.
