Saints' Devin Neal: Accrues seven touches Sunday
Neal tallied four rushes for 22 yards and gathered in all three targets for nine yards during Sunday's 17-7 win against the Panthers.
Neal operated as the Saints' RB2 behind Alvin Kamara for the second week in a row. The Saints' offense bounced back after last week's dreadful performance in a loss to the Rams, and Kamara powered the running game with a season-high 22 carries for 83 yards. Neal hasn't seen much usage over the last two games, as Taysom Hill has continued to cycle in as a rushing quarterback in short-yardage and goal-line situations. The 22-year-old Neal's next opportunity will come after the Saints' Week 11 bye, when they face the Falcons on Sunday, Nov. 23.

Saints' Devin Neal: Gets four touches Week 9
Neal accrued three carries for 11 yards and caught his only target for one yard during Sunday's 34-10 loss to the Rams.
Neal had only three fewer carries than RB1 Alvin Kamara, who was stymied for a season-low 14 rushing yards. Meanwhile, do-it-all tight end Taysom Hill finished with a team-high 30 rushing yards on four carries. New Orleans got dominated in just about every phase, leaving rookie quarterback Tyler Shough to attempt 24 passes compared to just 14 rushing attempts as a team. It's unclear how the rushing attempts would have been split up if there was a more normal game script for the Saints' offense. New Orleans will next play against the Panthers in Week 10 next Sunday.

Saints' Devin Neal: Ready for Week 9 action
Neal (ankle) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game at the Rams, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.
Meanwhile, No. 1 RB Alvin Kamara is listed as questionable due to his own ankle injury, but coach Kellen Moore told Jeff Nowak of WWL New Orleans that the ninth-year pro is trending in the right direction entering the weekend. Considering Neal practiced fully Friday while Kamara remained limited, the former could be poised for a bump in snaps Sunday if the Saints opt to take it easy on the veteran back. Neal, a rookie sixth-round pick, has three carries for 10 yards and three catches (on three targets) for 11 yards in four appearances this season.

Saints' Devin Neal: Remains limited at practice
Neal (ankle) practiced in a limited fashion Thursday, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.
Neal maintained his activity level from Wednesday as he tends to an ankle injury. No. 1 RB Alvin Kamara also is operating with a cap on his reps this week due to a lingering ankle issue, but there's been no indication that either player is in danger of sitting out Sunday's game at the Rams. In Week 8 against the Buccaneers, Neal took over the No. 2 role following Kendre Miller's torn ACL, logging a 46 percent snap share and netting 11 yards on his three catches. Meanwhile, Kamara handled 51 percent of the plays on his way to 45 yards from scrimmage on eight touches.

Saints' Devin Neal: Tending to ankle issue
Neal was limited at Wednesday's practice due to an ankle injury.
No. 1 RB Alvin Kamara also is dealing with an ankle issue, but Neal's concern is a new one. In his first game acting as the No. 2 back in place of Kendre Miller (torn ACL) this past Sunday against the Buccaneers, Neal played 46 percent of the snaps, didn't see a carry and tallied three catches (on three targets) for 11 yards, while Kamara logged a 51 percent snap share and notched 45 yards from scrimmage on eight touches. Such a breakdown of work may be the norm between Kamara and Neal moving forward, but with injuries in tow for both players, their statuses will be monitored as the week goes on to get a sense of their odds to be available Sunday at the Rams.

Saints' Devin Neal: Logs three touches Week 8
Neal had zero carries and hauled in all three of his targets for 11 yards during Sunday's 23-3 loss against Tampa Bay.
The rookie sixth-rounder served as the Saints' RB2 with Kendre Miller out for the season after suffering a torn ACL in Week 7. New Orleans benched starting quarterback Spencer Rattler for rookie Tyler Shough late in the third quarter, and the offense abandoned the running game with just 15 carries as a team. Neal still played 46 percent of offensive snaps while operating behind Alvin Kamara, who only played 51 percent of offensive snaps. Neal will look for more rushing opportunities as New Orleans' offense looks to right the ship Week 8 versus the Rams.

Saints' Devin Neal: Kamara's top backup with Miller out
Neal will likely take on a larger role following Kendre Miller's season-ending knee injury, Matthew Paras of the New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
Miller tore his ACL in this past Sunday's loss to the Bears, opening the door for Neal to take over as the primary backup to Alvin Kamara (ankle). Neal was a sixth-round selection in the 2025 NFL Draft. He has three carries for 10 yards in three NFL appearances. Velus Jones rounds out the running back depth chart.

Saints' Devin Neal: Gets one carry Week 7
Neal logged one carry for one yard during Sunday's 26-14 defeat to the Bears.
Neal suited up for consecutive games for the first time this season. The rookie sixth-rounder didn't make much of an impact despite the departure of RB2 Kendre Miller (knee) early in the game. The latter running back averaged 9.0 carries per game over the previous four weeks while playing behind Alvin Kamara. If Miller misses time moving forward, Neal is next in line to serve as the No. 2 running back. The Saints' next game is against the Buccaneers on Sunday, Oct. 26.

Saints' Devin Neal: Not playing Week 5
Neal (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Giants.
Neal will be a healthy scratch for a fourth consecutive game while the Saints roll with a three-man backfield of Alvin Kamara, Kendre Miller and Velus Jones. Neal's next chance to see the field is Week 6 against the Patriots on Sunday, Oct. 12.

Saints' Devin Neal: Scratched again
Neal (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Bills, Ross Jackson of WWL Louisiana reports.
Neal hasn't been active since Week 1, with Velus Jones instead taking the field thanks to his ability to contribute on special teams. Neal has had a slow start to his rookie season, earning only two carries for nine yards.

Saints' Devin Neal: Healthy scratch Week 3
Neal (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against Seattle.
Neal entered the weekend with just two rushes for nine yards on the campaign, and he won't get a chance to add to that Sunday. Instead, Velus Jones -- who also serves as New Orleans' top kick returner -- is slated to work as the team's No. 3 RB behind Alvin Kamara and Kendre Miller.

Saints' Devin Neal: Gets two touches in season opener
Neal recorded two carries for nine yards during Sunday's 20-13 loss against the Cardinals.
Neal finished fourth on the Saints in both rushing yards and attempts. Starting running back Alvin Kamara tallied 11 of the team's 22 rushing attempts, while RB2 Kendre Miller (five) and quarterback Spencer Rattler (four) rounded out the rest of the ground game. The lack of team rushing attempts is notable compared to the 46 passing attempts for Rattler, which was a career high. Neal also played just seven offensive snaps. So long as he's playing behind two other running backs in an offense that stresses the passing game, Neal won't fetch any value in fantasy football. The Saints' next game will come versus the 49ers on Sunday, Sept. 14.

Saints' Devin Neal: Seven touches in preseason loss
Neal (hamstring) rushed five times for 20 yards and brought in both targets for 10 yards in the Saints' 28-19 preseason loss to the Broncos on Saturday afternoon.
Neal had missed the first two preseason games due to a hamstring injury, but the rookie sixth-round pick was able to finally get on the field Saturday. Neal was reasonably effective with his second-half opportunities, and he'll presumably have to beat out at least one of veterans Cam Akers, Clyde Edwards-Helaire and Velus Jones to make it through final cutdowns.
