Not being placed on exempt list
Bills general manager Brandon Beane said Wednesday that he doesn't expect Miller to be placed on the commissioner's exempt list following a recent felony domestic violence charge, Katherine Fitzgerald of The Buffalo News reports.
Analysis: Miller is thus expected to be available for Sunday's game against Kansas City, likely handling his usual role playing about 20 snaps as a rotational edge rusher. He might still be placed on the exempt list at some point, while a formal suspension probably wouldn't occur until well after the season.

Arrest warrant issued
The Dallas Police Department confirmed Thursday that an arrest warrant has been issued for Miller for allegedly assaulting a pregnant woman, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: According to the report, Dallas Police responded to a "major disturbance call," with a preliminary investigation showing that Miller and a woman got into a verbal argument and that he allegedly assaulted her. Miller left the scene before officers arrived, and the woman in question was not transported to a hospital but was treated for minor injuries. The Bills subsequently released a statement on the matter Thursday, noting that the organization is aware of the incident involving Miller and is…read more

Tiny role in Week 7 upset loss
Miller played just six defensive snaps and didn't record a tackle in Sunday's 29-25 loss to the Patriots.
Analysis: The coaches keep saying he's on a "pitch count" and are just managing his reps, but when a star player is getting just six snaps in a tightly contested game, that should tell you Miller is still far away from where he was pre-knee injury, when he had 8.0 sacks in 11 games last season. We should see his involvement pick up as the season wears on, but Buffalo runs a nasty defensive that relies on heavy rotation, and even a healthier Miller -- at age 34 and coming off a major injury -- isn't as…read more

Cleared for 2023 debut
Miller (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Jaguars in London.
Analysis: The star edge rusher is making his 2023 debut after completing his recovery from the torn ACL that he suffered in late November. Upon being cleared to practice this week, Miller was a limited participant in sessions Wednesday through Friday, but his activity was enough for the Bills to give him the green light to play. Though fellow defensive ends Greg Rousseau (foot) and Shaq Lawson (toe) are sidelined Sunday, Miller is still expected to be eased back in with a limited snap count Week 5, per…read more

Expected to play on pitch count
Miller (knee) is expected to suit up for Sunday's matchup against the Jaguars but operate on a snap count, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Miller, who came off the reserve/PUP list Saturday and is officially listed as questionable for Week 5, is expected to make his season debut in London on Sunday. His status will be made official roughly 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 9:30 a.m. ET kickoff. Even if the 34-year-old is only able to suit up for third downs and obvious pass-rushing situations, as Rapoport reports, Miller could be an impact player for Buffalo.

Questionable, off PUP list however
Miller (knee) was activated off the reserve/PUP list Saturday and is listed as questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Jaguars.
Analysis: The Bills haven't officially cleared Miller's injury status, but it would be surprising to see the team activate the veteran and yet not have him play. With Shaq Lawson (toe) a late addition to the injury report, Miller could wind up seeing a few more pass-rush snaps than initially expected. The 34-year-old has not played since tearing his ACL in Week 12 of last season.

Questionable but still on PUP list
Miller (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Jaguars in London.
Analysis: Miller remains on the reserve/PUP list, but he traveled with the team to London and logged a trio of limited practices this week. In order to play Sunday, Miller will first have to be activated from the PUP list, but Buffalo's 21-day window to place Miller back on the active roster was opened Wednesday. If Miller suits up, it will be his first appearance since the 34-year-old pass rusher tore his ACL in Week 12 of last season. Per Jay Skurski of The Buffalo News, Miller said he's "94.5 percent"…read more

Making the trip to London
Miller (knee) will travel with the Bills to London ahead of Sunday's Week 5 game against the Jaguars, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Miller remains on the reserve/PUP list, but he returned to practice this week, and his two limited sessions thus far "gave him no issues," according to Rapoport. It gives Miller a shot to play Sunday. He's yet to officially be activated from reserve/PUP.

Returns to practice
Bills head coach Sean McDermott said that Miller (knee) will practice Wednesday after the edge rusher was designated to return from the reserve/PUP list.
Analysis: Buffalo will have a 21-day window to observe Miller in practice before activating him from the PUP list. The 34-year-old estimated Tuesday that he had a 90 percent chance of playing Sunday against the Jaguars, though McDermott has stated the team will take it one day at a time with the veteran. Considering that Miller hasn't played since tearing the ACL in his right knee in late November, it's possible that he needs more than one week of practice time before the Bills are comfortable turning…read more

Expected to play Sunday
Miller (knee) is expected to make his season debut against the Jaguars on Sunday, James Palmer of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Miller tore his ACL last November and hasn't played since but is trending toward making his return to the field Sunday. The 2011 first-round pick logged 21 tackles (18 solo) including eight sacks in 11 games last year and will look to help bolster a Buffalo defense that has already looked impressive through four games. If Miller ends up being good to go, the team will first have to activate him from the PUP list in order for him to be eligible to play.

Set to practice this week
Bills head coach Sean McDermott confirmed Monday that Miller (knee) will resume practicing this week, Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Buffalo will hold its first official Week 5 practice Wednesday, when Miller will likely be designated for return from injured reserve. The transaction will open up a 21-day window wherein Miller will be evaluated for a return to the 53-man roster, and depending on how he fares in practice this week, he could be activated ahead of Sunday's game against the Jaguars. In his first season with Buffalo in 2022, the veteran edge rusher accrued 21 tackles, eight sacks and a forced fumble in 11 games…read more

Set to practice Monday
Miller (knee) is expected to resume practicing with the Bills beginning Monday Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Miller opened the 2023 season on the reserve/PUP list, a transaction that will keep him out for at least the Bills' first four games. Assuming Miller resumes practicing Monday as anticipated, the Bills will then have three weeks to decide whether to add the eight-time Pro Bowler back to the 53-man roster. Miller has been out of action since tearing the ACL in his right knee in a Thanksgiving Day matchup with the Lions last season.

No sure thing for Week 5
Miller (knee) said Wednesday that he's unsure if he'll be ready to play Week 5, when he's first eligible for activation from the PUP list, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Miller received full medical clearance before being placed on the PUP list last week, though the veteran edge rusher acknowledged that gaining clearance was just one piece of the puzzle in terms of returning to game action. The three-time All-Pro has reportedly been recovering well from an ACL tear of his right knee that he sustained last Thanksgiving Day, but until he's back practicing with the team, the Bills may not be able to pinpoint a clear target date for him to make his 2023 debut.

Set to miss first four games
Miller (knee) will begin the campaign on the reserve/PUP list, which means he has to miss the first four games of the season, Sal Maiorana of the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle reports.
Analysis: The Bills were hoping to have the veteran pass rusher back for a tough Week 1 matchup against Aaron Rodgers and the Jets, but Miller is at the stage of his career where he must be handled with care, and the team will play the long game this season. He was thought to be progressing well from a torn ACL suffered in a Thanksgiving game last season, so him being ready to go come Week 5 is not out of the question. Greg Rousseau, Leonard Floyd and A.J. Epenesa will head up the Buffalo pass rush in…read more

Progressing well in recovery
Miller (knee) being ready for Week 1 is "definitely a possibility" according to general manager Brandon Beane.
Analysis: Miller, who is on the active/PUP list, is in a "great spot" in his recovery, but as far as being ready for the start of the season, Beane stated the team is "not quite there" in knowing for sure. Instead, the Bills will err on the side of caution to make sure he is indeed fully recovered before letting him take the field. "We're going to take it slowly with him," Beane added, "and make sure he's truly ready to get back."

Ends up on PUP list
Miller (knee) was placed on the active/PUP list Tuesday, Alec White of the Bills' official site reports.

Expects to avoid PUP list
Miller (knee) believes that he'll avoid the PUP list when training camp starts in July, Ryan O'Halloran of The Buffalo News reports.
Analysis: Miller suffered a torn ACL on Thanksgiving against the Lions, but he appears to be nearing the end of his recovery as the 2023 season approaches. The linebacker said Monday that he has "good information from his doctor, and his knee is all healed up." Regardless of how much he's able to participate at training camp this summer, it seems quite possible that the 34-year-old will avoid the PUP list to open the season, but if he doesn't he wouldn't be eligible to return until Week 5, at the…read more

The 34-year-old said that he "feels great" and feels like he'll be "ready to go for the start of the season," though he did say that if it wasn't Week 1, he'd be back by Week 6. If he is required to be placed on the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list to open the year, that's where Week 6 comes into play, which would be the earliest he could return in that scenario.

Eye on return to action
Miller, who suffered a torn ACL in November, has been participating in voluntary workouts with his teammates this week, Grace Heidinger of the Bills' official site reports. Said the veteran, "Sitting here at month four, I feel great. I haven't started doing football stuff and rip moves and all that stuff, but I feel great, and I feel positive that I'll be ready to go early in the season for sure."
Analysis: Miller's words indicate he may be no sure thing for Week 1. The Bills followed a similar path last season with Tre'Davious White, who started the season on the PUP list and didn't return until November, which, oddly enough, was the very game Miller suffered his own injury. Whenever he does return, Miller will certainly bolster the team's pass rush -- at 33 years of age he posted 8.0 sacks in just 11 games last season. We'll see if he shows signs during training camp of being able to return…read more

May be able to play early in 2023
Miller (knee) said Tuesday that he feels great and is confident he'll be ready "early in the season," but he hasn't started doing any football activities yet, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Miller tore his right ACL in Week 12 last season, marking the second time he's suffered the injury during his NFL career. The veteran pass rusher told reporters that he's not stressing about the injury as much as he did in 2013, so it appears his previous experience is proving beneficial. Despite positive updates, Miller still has plenty of hurdles to clear before he's ready for game action, so at this point, it's a possibility he'll miss at least the first few weeks of the 2023 regular season.…read more

On road to full recovery
Coach Sean McDermott said Monday that Miller, who suffered an ACL injury in Week 12 last season, is on schedule with his recovery, Grace Heidinger of the Bills' official site reports.
Analysis: Said McDermott, "And then you talk about the piece that he's working on, which is getting healthy to play and play well on the field. That's a whole other piece and to this point, it sounds like he's on schedule." Miller had 8.0 sacks in just 11 games last season -- not bad at all for a 33-year-old (now 34) -- so the Bills are certainly looking forward to having him back to lead the pass rush once again in what will be his second campaign with the team.

Gets ACL surgery, out for season
Bills head coach Sean McDermott announced Wednesday that Miller will be out for the season after undergoing surgery to address a torn ACL, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Miller was placed on injured reserve after injuring his knee during the Bills' Thanksgiving Day win over the Lions, but Buffalo was initially hopeful that he could stage a late-season return after his initial MRI didn't reveal a torn ACL but rather a lateral meniscus tear. According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, the Bills had planned for Miller to have surgery this week to reposition the meniscus, but the torn ACL was detected during that procedure.

Dealing with meniscus tear
Miller was diagnosed with a lateral meniscus tear following an MRI on Friday and is expected to have his right knee re-examined in 7-to-10 days, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Miller was carted off the field after suffering the injury Thursday in the second quarter of the Bills' 28-25 win over the Lions. Though follow-up tests have cleared Miller of an ACL tear, the star edge rusher is still expected to require surgery at some point to address the meniscus injury.

Miller (knee) didn't suffer an ACL tear during Thursday's win over the Lions but is out indefinitely and requires further tests Friday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Though Miller avoided the dreaded ACL tear, he sustained other damage to his knee, which could still put him in danger of missing multiple weeks or even the rest of the season. Initial reports appeared to indicate Miller suffered a knee sprain, though the results of his MRI on Friday should provide clearer information.

Analysis: A sprain certainly wouldn't be the worst case scenario for the star linebacker, although any missed time would be bad news for the Bills' defense. However, a more serious injury has not been ruled out, and Miller will undergo an MRI and other tests Friday to confirm it is indeed just a knee sprain.

Two sacks in win
Miller recorded four solo tackles and two sacks during Thursday's 31-10 win over the Rams.
Analysis: Miller, who's fresh off winning the Super Bowl with the Rams, dominated his former team with a pair of sacks. His first sack came on the Rams' opening offensive drive and his second came in the middle of the third quarter, and both put Los Angeles in difficult third-and-long situations that ended in punts. Miller has appeared in only 15 regular-season games over the last two seasons, but when healthy, the veteran is still among the league's top pass rushers.

Out for personal reasons
Miller missed practice Tuesday for a second straight day due to personal reasons, Sal Capaccio of WGR550.com reports.
Analysis: A veteran with a Hall of Fame resume probably doesn't need much extra work, so unless this lingers into the preseason there's probably little to worry about here. Still, Miller was brought in to get the team over the final hurdle based on his tremendous pass-rush ability, so we suppose the Bills will benefit if he does get back soon to continue learning his new defensive system.

Inks massive deal with Bills
Miller agreed Wednesday with the Bills on a six-year, $120 million contract, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: In a week of big splashes in free agency, Miller's addition to the Bills qualifies as one of the higher-impact additions. He still possesses elite-level pass-rushing skills, even though the future Hall of Famer's skill set isn't quite what it was during his prime years with the Broncos. Still, he's still capable of making a run at double-digit sacks when he can play close to a full 17-game slate, and he should do well joining a defense coming off a No. 1 league ranking in 2021.

Analysis: Although Miller passed a physical when he was traded from the Broncos to the Rams on Monday, he'll be forced to miss a second straight game due to a left ankle sprain. With Chris Garrett (coach's decision) also unavailable, Terrell Lewis and Ogbonnia Okoronkwo could see increased playing time.

Looks unlikely for Week 9
Miller (ankle), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Titans, appears unlikely to play, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Though Miller passed a physical upon being acquired from the Broncos on Monday, the Rams don't seem inclined to have the pass-rushing linebacker make his team debut until he's 100 percent. Miller is still scheduled to go through a pregame warmup Sunday, but if his sprained left ankle is bothering him at all, he'll likely have to wait until Week 10 in San Francisco to suit up for Los Angeles.

Week 9 status hinges on warmups
The Rams continue to list Miller (ankle) as questionable for Sunday's game against the Titans and will have him take part in pregame warmups before a decision is made on his status, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Los Angeles was confident enough in the health of Miller's sprained left ankle to acquire him from Denver on Monday, but there's still a chance that his Rams debut will have to wait another week. He was limited in practice Thursday before sitting out Friday's session entirely, prompting the Rams to label him a game-time decision heading into the weekend. Miller's situation doesn't appear to have changed much as Sunday's 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff approaches.

Game-time decision Sunday
Miller (ankle) is officially listed as questionable, and coach Sean McVay has told reporters that the linebacker is going to be a game-time decision Sunday against the Titans, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Miller injured his ankle with the Broncos in Week 7. The linebacker has since been traded to the Rams and will look to make his L.A. debut Sunday against the Titans. Miller managed to practice in a limited capacity Thursday and Friday, so it's possible the 32-year-old is able to suit up and see limited availability in his Rams debut. Expect Chris Garrett to see snaps at outside linebacker if Miller is unable to play.

Gets in limited practice
Miller (ankle) logged a limited practice Thursday, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Miller was unable to practice Wednesday, so this is a step in the right direction for the Rams' new star linebacker. Miller left the Broncos' Week 7 contest against Cleveland early before missing their Week 8 game against Washington. Miller will try to make his Rams debut in Week 9 against the Titans, but it's possible the team exhibits some extra caution with its newest acquisition.

Misses practice Wednesday
Miller (ankle) missed the Rams' practice Wednesday, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Miller was seen doing drills off to the side during the Rams' practice Wednesday. The linebacker didn't seem to be favoring either ankle, which is a good sign. While Miller's status for Week 9 is up in the air, the recently traded linebacker does acknowledge that he feels good about his recovery process. Expect Chris Garrett to see snaps at outside linebacker until Miller is healthy enough to make his Los Angeles debut.

Deal to L.A. in place
The Rams finalized their acquisition of Miller (ankle) from the Broncos on Monday, picking up $9 million of the edge rusher's remaining salary for 2021 while also sending 2022 second- and third-round picks to Denver, Jeff Legwold and Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com report.
Analysis: Miller will need to pass a physical before either side announces the trade, but that's apparently not a major concern, even though his sprained left ankle kept him from playing in Denver's win over Washington on Sunday. Assuming he returns to full health in the near future, Miller, who confirmed his trade to Los Angeles in a post on his personal Instagram account, should provide the Rams with another top-flight pass-rushing talent to complement standout defensive tackle Aaron Donald.

Analysis: No deal has been finalized yet, but Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports that the Broncos would receive second- and third-round draft picks in exchange for the eight-time Pro Bowler. Per Schefter, Miller is saying his goodbyes to teammates Monday morning, which would seem to indicate that a deal is nearly finalized.

Looks like game-time call
Miller (ankle), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Washington, may be evaluated in a pregame workout before the Broncos determine his status, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: At this stage, Miller looks to be trending toward missing his first game of the season, as he wasn't able to practice in any fashion Wednesday through Friday after spraining his left ankle in the Broncos' Week 7 loss to the Browns. If Miller is sidelined an already-depleted Denver linebacking corps would be even more shorthanded.

Considered questionable
Miller (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against Washington, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.
Analysis: Miller was a non-participant at practice all week, so his questionable designation seems a little optimistic.

Extends sack streak to four games
Miller recorded five total tackles, including a half a sack in Sunday's 23-7 loss to the Ravens.
Analysis: Miller has now gotten to the quarterback in all four games to start the 2021 campaign. With 4.5 sacks to start the year, it is certainly plausible to think that veteran can reach double-digit sacks this season. Miller has a decent chance to add to his total in Week 5 when the Broncos visit the Steelers; through four weeks, Pittsburgh has allowed Ben Roethlisberger to be sacked 10 times.

Piling up sacks
Miller posted three tackles (one solo) and a sack in Sunday's 26-0 win over the Jets.
Analysis: Miller is stepping up with Bradley Chubb (ankle) out of the lineup, as he now has a sack in every game and four total through three weeks. The 2011 first-round pick has little fantasy utility unless he gets to the quarterback, as he produced just 46 tackles last year, but double-digit sacks are certainly in the conversation again.

Analysis: After missing the entire 2020 campaign, Miller returned to form as the only Broncos defender to sack Daniel Jones on Sunday. If this performance is any indication, the 32-year-old linebacker should be poised for a solid comeback season.

Analysis: Miller, who turned 33 in March, didn't suit up for a single game last season as the result of a dislocated peroneal tendon. The surgery he underwent Sept. 11 carried a recovery timeline of 5-to-6 months, and his workload at OTAs is an indication that he's returned to full health without any setbacks. Miller is set to account for $23.2 million of the Broncos' cap space during the 2021 campaign, after which he'll become a free agent.

The Broncos are exercising a $7 million guarantee on Miller's (ankle) $18 million salary for 2021, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.
Analysis: There was talk of negotiating a lower salary for the final year of Miller's contract, but the Broncos apparently are willing to keep his deal in place now that the pass rusher isn't facing legal charges from a recent investigation by the Parker (Col.) Police Department. Miller should be ready for training camp, considering his dislocated peroneal tendon came with a recovery timeline of 5-to-6 months.

Coach Vic Fangio said Monday that Miller (ankle) started running last week but isn't expected to play in Sunday's game against the Bills, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.
Analysis: A couple of weeks back, Fangio suggested that Miller's potential return is a "moot point." There remains a slim chance that he could still return this season, especially with the playoffs out of reach. It's nevertheless an encouraging sign that Miller is able to run just three months after suffering a dislocated peroneal tendon in his ankle, an injury which typically takes a 5-to-6 month recovery. The 31-year-old should be at 100 percent for the 2021 campaign.

Analysis: It's nice to see Miller taking on a leadership role and contributing however he can while recovering from his ankle injury, but his walking boot suggests he's still nowhere near returning to game action.

Analysis: Miller has been targeting a mid-December return, but the surgery he underwent on Sept. 11 typically requires a four- to six-month recovery process. While the highly competitive pass rusher will surely do everything in his power to come back late in the season if the Broncos are making a playoff push, such a scenario seems unlikely given the team's 1-3 record at this point.

Analysis: Due to blizzard conditions in the Denver metro area, the Broncos held practice indoors, a session that ended with Miller sustaining the freak injury. Following an MRI, we're starting to get a clearer picture of the issue, but he'll visit Dr. Robert Anderson in Green Bay on Thursday to get a second opinion, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.

May have season-ending injury
Miller injured an ankle tendon during Tuesday's practice and likely will require season-ending surgery, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Instead of the customary outdoor session, the Broncos held practice indoors Tuesday due to an ongoing blizzard. According to Schefter, the team was only in shells, but still the worst happened as Miller suffered the injury in the final moments.

Staying in Denver
General manager John Elway said Monday that the Broncos will pick up Miller's $18 million contract option for 2020, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.
Analysis: Miller's 2020 option includes $6 million guaranteed. Next season, the three-time All-Pro will enter the fifth year of the six-year, $114.5 million contract extension he signed in 2016. Miller appeared in 15 contests in 2019 while battling a lingering knee injury for much of the year, compiling 46 tackles (33 solo), a team-leading eight sacks and two defended passes. The star pass rusher will benefit from the return of fellow outside linebacker Bradley Chubb (knee) come 2020.

Ready for Week 15
Miller (knee) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at Kansas City, Nicki Jhabvala of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Miller played through the MCL sprain Week 14 and was limited to 59 percent of defensive snaps, but he appears to be much healthier entering Week 15. The 30-year-old may not end up seeing his usual full workload, but he seems likely to see the field more than last week.

Making progress in recovery
Miller (knee) said Thursday that his MCL sprain is "way better than it was last week," Ryan O'Halloran of The Denver Post reports.
Analysis: Miller played through his knee injury during Week 14's win over the Texans, in which he notched three tackles (one solo) despite playing a season-low 59 percent of snaps on defense. The veteran pass rusher also said "I shouldn't have any problems playing on Sunday" in Kansas City. While it's certainly good news that any uncertainty surrounding the All-Pro's availability has dissipated, it remains to be seen whether he'll be limited at all versus the Chiefs.

Suiting up versus Texans
Miller (knee) is active for Sunday's tilt against the Texans.
Analysis: Miller was initially listed as questionable for Week 14 and considered a game-time call, so it appears as though his knee injury held up well during pregame workouts. The star pass rusher stands to draw his usual start at inside linebacker, though Jeremiah Attaochu could see an uptick in snaps if Miller is limited in any capacity.

Game-time call Sunday
Miller (knee) is considered a true game-time call for Sunday's game against the Texans, James Palmer of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Miller missed last week's game against the Chargers and logged a trio of limited practices while dealing with an MCL sprain in his left knee. His workout pregame will have a strong say as to whether the All-Pro pass rusher can suit up. If Miller is forced to miss his second consecutive contest, Jeremiah Attaochu figures to again draw the start with Justin Hollins in line for an uptick in usage.

Officially questionable
Miller (knee) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Texans, Nicki Jhabvala of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Miller logged a trio of limited practice sessions this week while nursing a sprained MCL in his left knee. The injury caused him to sit out Week 13's tilt against the Chargers. The star pass rusher said Friday that his availability will come down to a game-time decision, per Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com, and that he'll test his knee during pregame workouts.

Uncertain for Week 14
Miller (knee) said Thursday that he isn't sure he'll be available for Sunday's contest against the Texans, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.
Analysis: Miller is nursing a sprained MCL in his left knee, according to Troy Renck of Denver 7 News, the severity of which caused him to sit out Week 13's win over the Chargers. It looks as though he's headed for another "limited" designation on Thursday's practice report. The star pass rusher is close to a return to the field, per Renck, but he's still having issues combating blockers during practice. Friday's final practice session of the week will further illuminate Miller's chances of taking the…read more

Working in limited capacity
Miller (knee) will be limited during Wednesday's practice, James Palmer of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Miller was already given a "good chance" to play Sunday against the Texans, and his participation, albeit limited, in practice supports that notion. The 30-year-old will need to finish the practice week without a setback, but the Broncos' top pass rusher is on the right track.

Trending in right direction
Coach Vic Fangio said Monday "there's a good chance" Miller (knee) suits up against the Texans in Week 14, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.
Analysis: Miller wasn't able to suit up against the Chargers in Week 13 due to a knee injury, but he appears to be progressing well in his recovery. If the star pass rusher is indeed able to retake the field versus Houston on Sunday, he'll draw his usual start in Denver's linebacker corps.

Coach hopeful about Week 14 status
After Sunday's victory over the Chargers, coach Vic Fangio said he's "hopeful" Miller (knee) will be available against the Texans in Week 14, Nicki Jhabvala of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Fangio added that Miller was "close" to playing Sunday, but he isn't sure about Miller's status for Week 14 at this point. The pass rusher's absence against the Chargers was his first missed game since 2013, and it looks like his absence is unlikely to extend beyond one additional week at most.

Won't suit up against Chargers
Miller (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Chargers.
Analysis: Miller will miss his first game since the 2013 season after undergoing an MRI earlier in the week, breaking his streak of 91 straight starts. The Broncos will be without their top pass rusher, as Miller has compiled six sacks over the last eight games. Jeremiah Attaochu figures to work as the starter while Justin Hollins also garners an uptick in usage.

No sure thing for Sunday
Miller (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Nicki Jhabvala of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Coach Vic Fangio said Miller's chances of playing are "50-50" but noted the linebacker had made progress during the week. The 30-year-old's streak of 91 consecutive regular-season starts is in jeopardy. Malik Reed and Jeremiah Attaochu stand to see increased snaps if Miller is out.

No practice Wednesday
Miller (knee) did not participate in Wednesday's practice, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.
Analysis: Miller had an MRI on his knee Monday, so it's somewhat concerning to see him now being held out of practice to start the week. Look for more updates on the star linebacker's health to come ahead of Sunday's tilt against the Chargers.

Another sack Sunday
Miller (knee) recorded three tackles (two solo) and a sack across 64 defensive snaps in Sunday's loss to the Bills.
Analysis: Miller continues to find a way to reach opposing quarterbacks, as he brought his season sack total to six with Sunday's takedown of Josh Allen. He'll now be tasked with bringing down Philip Rivers, which he failed to do in their first meeting of the season back in October. However, Miller did undergo an MRI on Monday for a potential knee issue, so look for more updates to come when the team's practice report is released later this week.

Undergoes MRI
Miller (knee) had an MRI on Monday, Nicki Jhabvala of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Miller didn't show any ill effects during Sunday's loss to the Bills, as he played 64 of a possible 80 defensive snaps (80 percent) -- his highest count since Week 5. Coach Vic Fangio also relayed that "[Miller's] fine at this point." We'll wait for the MRI results to get more clarity on the issue, although his practice capacity Wednesday will also be a good measure.

Drops Cousins in loss
Miller recorded three solo tackles and a sack in Sunday's 27-23 loss to the Vikings.
Analysis: Miller's stats have disappointed this season following a 14.5-sack 2018 campaign, as he's registered just five sacks through 10 contests this year. However, he's still just as disruptive with 22 quarterback pressures, putting him on pace to match last year's 35 over 16 games. That doesn't pay off for IDP purposes, but the veteran linebacker's real-life value is still there.

Practices in full Friday
Miller (knee) does not have an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Browns.
Analysis: Miller missed Wednesday's practice but has ratcheted up his participation each day since, culminating in a full return Friday. The nine-year vet is coming off just his second game with a sack this season but is at 3.5 on the year.
