The New Orleans Saints are going into Week 16 without their top two rushing options. Taysom Hill is out for the season, and Alvin Kamara will miss at least this week with a groin injury.
So, how will the Saints approach the run game against the Green Bay Packers? Darren Rizzi told reporters this week to expect a “committee approach.”
New addition Clyde Edwards-Helaire wasn’t mentioned, and he will probably need more than a few days to pick up the playbook. For now he’s on the practice squad.
Kendre Miller leading the team in carries feels like the most likely scenario on Monday, but you’ll see Jamaal Williams and Jordan Mims as well.
“Between Kendre, Jamaal and Jordan Mims, you’ll see all of those guys, at some point, in the offensive backfield,” Rizzi added.
Miller has been Kamara’s running mate and second in the pecking order since returning from injury. His quick ascension over Williams would make one believe the young rusher will be the leader in the committee approach.
