New Orleans Saints center Eric McCoy is believed to have sustained a torn biceps Sunday that will end his season, according to an NFL Network report.

The Saints also lost running back Kendre Miller to a torn ACL in the same game, according to multiple reports Monday.

McCoy walked off the field holding his arm during the fourth quarter of Sunday's 26-14 loss to the Chicago Bears which dropped New Orleans to 1-6. Miller left the game after a 7-yard run in the first quarter and did not return.

In his postgame press conference, Saints head coach Kellen Moore admitted the severity of both McCoy's and Miller's injuries 'might be a concern for us moving forward.'McCoy, 28, is reportedly set to have surgery and will go on injured reserve.

This would be the second straight season in which an injury severely limited the playing time of the two-time Pro Bowl selection who has started all 88 games played in his seven-year career.

He sustained a groin injury in Week 3 last season that required surgery and kept him out for the bulk of the season. He ultimately played in seven games last season, after making 74 starts over his first five seasons with the Saints after being a second-round pick in the 2019 NFL Draft.

Luke Fortner, who New Orleans acquired from Jacksonville via trade this preseason, replaced McCoy after he left the game.

Miller has also dealt with multiple injuries causing him to miss 20 of the first 34 regular-season games, including a hamstring injury that kept him out of all but six games of the 2024 season.

The 23-year-old had been enjoying his healthiest season of his three-year career with the Saints, who drafted him in the third round of the 2023 NFL Draft. He logged career highs in carries (47) and rushing yards (193) and also scored one touchdown.

Devin Neal is expected to take Miller's spot for the Saints. He was a sixth-round pick this year after being a college star at Kansas.
