Cowboys Add RB Kendre Miller To Practice Squad

It’s a bit of a homecoming for Miller, who played college football down the road at TCU. Following his college career, he was selected by New Orleans in the third round of the 2023 draft. He got some run through his first three-plus NFL seasons, although his rookie campaign still represents the best showing of his career. He finished that 2023 campaign with 273 yards from scrimmage on 51 touches.

After averaging 48 touches per season between 2024 and 2025, Miller actually saw a career-high 66 touches through six games in 2026. However, his efficiency fell off a cliff, as the RB averaged only three yards on those looks. With Travis Etienne zeroing in on a return and Alvin Kamara still commanding carries, the Saints decided to move off their former draft pick this past weekend.

Miller will now land in Dallas, where the Cowboys have been seeking some depth after Tyler Goodson suffered a knee injury on Sunday. Javonte Williams will continue to lead the depth chart, but with Malik Davis on IR, the team lacked depth at the position. Miller could quickly slide in as the RB2, although the team is also rostering Israel Abanikanda and Jashaun Corbin on the taxi squad.

To make room on the practice squad, the Cowboys released cornerback Reddy Steward, per ESPN’s Todd Archer. The former UDFA out of Troy caught on with the Cowboys last season and ended up seeing time in all 17 games for Dallas, compiling 63 stops, 1.5 sacks, and three passes defended. He was among the team’s final roster cuts following this year’s preseason, and he quickly landed on the organization’s practice squad. He got into three games this year, compiling 11 tackles.
