New Orleans Saints Lose Two Key Offensive Players to Season-Ending Injuries

The New Orleans Saints are facing a challenging 2025 season as they have lost two vital offensive players—center Erik McCoy and running back Kendre Miller—to season-ending injuries. McCoy, a two-time Pro Bowler and the team's best pass blocker, suffered a torn biceps injury, requiring surgery and sidelining him for the rest of the season, which is a significant blow to the offensive line and quarterback protection. Miller, who was gaining momentum with 193 rushing yards and a touchdown, tore his ACL and will also miss the remainder of the season, increasing the workload for veteran Alvin Kamara. Luke Fortner is set to replace McCoy at center, while rookie Devin Neal is expected to step up as running back behind Kamara. These injuries exacerbate the Saints' struggles as they enter their next games with a depleted offense, further complicating their efforts to rebound in the 2025 season. The losses highlight concerns about depth and offensive stability under head coach Kellen Moore amid ongoing challenges.
