What happened: The Dallas Cowboys are signing running back Kendre Miller, per Jordan Schultz. The move follows a Tuesday workout after Dallas hosted Miller for a free-agent visit. New Orleans waived the 24-year-old on Nov. 7 after he posted 159 rushing yards and two touchdowns in 2026.
Why it matters: Dallas sits at 4-5 in 2026 through nine games and needs backfield depth to stay in the NFC playoff race. Miller, a third-round selection in the 2023 draft out of TCU, provides an immediate rotational option behind the active roster. The addition addresses backfield attrition following Sunday's 27-23 victory at Indianapolis.
By the numbers: Miller recorded 159 rushing yards and two touchdowns in 2026. Last season (2025), he ran 47 times for 193 yards and one touchdown in seven games.
What to watch: Miller must pass a physical and integrate into practice before Dallas prepares for its next regular-season contest.
