Images from the Saints' first practice of training camp in Irvine, California
New Orleans Saints running back?Kendre Miller?left Wednesday's first practice of training camp during warmups because of a hamstring injury.
It could be a significant blow to the offense considering veteran running back Alvin Kamara is in a contract dispute with the team, and there was buzz surrounding Miller as a second-year player who could possibly fill the veteran's big-play shoes in the event of an absence.?Kamara is in attendance?in Irvine, California, for camp even though the two sides have yet to come to a new agreement.
Dennis Allen gave a blunt assessment of Saints RB Kendre Miller after injury in 1st practice?
