Saints may get at least a couple of their ''walking wounded'' back for Sunday's game at the Giants
. Several starters or key contributors have missed large chunks of action this year. Cornerback Paulson Adebo and WR Rashid Shaheed were both lost for the season before the midway point.
There do look to be a couple players that could be headed back to action, perhaps as soon as this week against New York. Means also dealt with an ankle injury that hindered him through training camp and into the regular season. He'd see little action through the first five contests, not recording a reception and getting targeted only once.
Means was a limited participant in practice on Wednesday. On Thursday, Means was a non-participant according to John Hendrix of the Saints News Network, putting his availability for Sunday in question. Miller had 156 rushing yards and caught 10 of 11 targets for 117 receiving yards in eight games as a rookie. Most of that production came over the span of just four games, as Miller played more than 15 offensive snaps in only three contests. Despite limited availability, he still showed power, elusiveness, and burst as a runner and promising receiving ability.
In a controversial move, since-fired coach Dennis Allen surprisingly placed Miller back on injured reserve. It meant that the young back would be required to miss at least another four games, despite reports indicating that the injury wasn't that serious.
