Sources: Dennis Allen’s recent mishandling of Kendre Miller’s injury created internal frustration, Miller currently healthy but can’t play

Oh you meant Rico Payton....got ya. Yeah I would have IR'd Rico. For simple fact of...who's the guy Dennis Allen kept highlighting as someone who could help us win? That's not the guy you IR again, especially if you get medicals back that say it's not a 4 week thing. That wasn't very smart, which is why I say it had to have been a decision made within a cloud of frustration.

I don’t doubt frustration could have played a role, my only thought is that we needed to add five guys for the game so three players had to go (and DA probably made the wrong choice as he was known to do). I don’t think the coaches would have disagreed with him if they didn’t feel there were better options than Miller for IR/release, but I can see why someone like Williams would have stayed over him.

With Adebo on Harris on IR and the decision on shipping Lattimore likely made before the Panthers game, the team could make the argument (truthful or not) that they put a premium on keeping DB’s on the roster over an extra RB. Our starters will probably be Taylor, McKinstry, and Payton if they are healthy, and they will all get more snaps than any RB not named Kamara.
