No one is more frustrated than Kendre Miller with his injury situation -- after all, it's his own body getting damaged and holding back his career. But former New Orleans Saints head coach Dennis Allen's frustrations boiled over. Not long after Miller returned from injured reserve with a hamstring injury, he exited another game after injuring the hamstring in his other leg.

It was described as a minor injury, expected to sideline him for a week or two. But this report from LouisianaSports.Net's Ross Jackson says Allen "had a lot to do with" the decision to sideline Miller on injured reserve again. Now the running back has to miss four games before he'll be eligible to return. The soonest he can play again is Week 14's matchup with the New York Giants.

Miller had been in the doghouse with Allen for months. He suffered that first hamstring injury just minutes into their first training camp practice and didn't return until almost midseason. Allen had questioned Miller's comprehension of the playbook with so few practice reps and even suggested the former third-round draft pick could fail to make the team if he couldn't stay healthy.

So it was a tense situation to say the least. But Allen is gone now, having been fired, and Miller is anticipating a heavy workload once he's allowed back on the field. His career to this point hasn't met expectations, but the young pro is determined to salvage it the next time he has the ball in his hands.
