Bub Means

It's an awful box score considering Bub Means was sidelined and Chris Olave departed with another concussion. Derek Carr deserves a large part of the blame, but Tipton would have done more here if he were seriously threatening to start posting better box scores. The UDFA has exceeded 20 yards one time all season.

The Saints suddenly find themselves in a bind at running back after Miller's move to injured reserve and backup running back Jamaal Williams' status as doubtful for Week 9. The team is left with only Alvin Kamara and fullback Adam Prentice as healthy backs on the active roster, potentially opening up additional backfield snaps for queen chess piece Taysom Hill against the Panthers. Means' absence likely thrusts recent acquisition Marquez Valdes-Scantling into meaningful snaps on the perimeter.
