Miller reverted to the Giants' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log. The running back was elevated to the active roster for the second straight game due to Devin Singletary's groin injury. Miller, though, did not play an offensive snap in New York's 17-7 loss to Cincinnati. He did play on seven special-teams snaps and assist on a tackle on punt coverage.
Miller was elevated to the Giants' active roster Saturday, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports. Miller will be on the active roster for the second consecutive week, as Devin Singletary (groin) was ruled out again. Miller played only one offensive snap in Week 5 and will likely play a minimal role once again in Week 6.
Miller reverted to the Giants' practice squad Monday. Miller was elevated to help the backfield depth with Devin Singletary (groin) inactive. However, the South Carolina product saw just one snap on offense and didn't run the ball, while Tyrone Tracy and Eric Gray handled the rest of the work.
The Giants elevated Miller from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports. Devin Singletary (groin) is doubtful to play Sunday against the Seahawks, so the Giants will bring up Miller to provide insurance in the backfield behind Tyrone Tracy and Eric Gray. Miller opted to stick around with Big Blue on the practice squad after failing to make the 53-man roster at the end of training camp.
Miller signed with the Giants' practice squad Wednesday, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports. Miller failed to make the Giants' 53-man roster, but he's now been brought back as a practice squad player. The South Carolina product impressed during the preseason, rushing for 63 yards on 12 carries in just one game before sustaining a hamstring injury.
Miller (hamstring) was waived by the Giants on Tuesday, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports. Miller was dealing with a hamstring injury last week but it doesn't appear the team waived him with an injury designation, so he should be considered healthy. The South Carolina product was impressive when he was able to suit up in preseason and camp, making him a likely practice-squad candidate for another team or the Giants themselves, if he clears waivers.
Miller (hamstring) was a limited participant at practice Tuesday, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports. Miller rushed for 63 yards on 12 carries in the Giants' preseason opener against the Lions, but he was unable to suit up for Saturday's contest against the Texans due to a hamstring injury. He'll be slowly worked back into practice in the hopes he can suit up for Saturday's preseason finale against the Jets. Miller is competing for a depth spot at running back behind starter Devin Singletary.
Miller (hamstring) was limited at practice Tuesday, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports. Miller impressed during New York's preseason opener against the Lions, when he rushed 12 times for 63 yards and secured both of his targets for seven yards, but he's now dealing with a hamstring injury that could impact his status for Saturday's exhibition game against Houston. With Tyrone Tracy (ankle) having suffered a low-ankle sprain at practice Tuesday, Miller is facing an opportunity for increased reps if he can get healthy without missing much time.
Miller tallied 63 yards on 12 carries and caught both of his passing targets for seven yards in a preseason win against Detroit on Thursday. Miller led Giants running backs with 26 offensive snaps in the exhibition contest. That doesn't indicate his place on the depth chart -- in fact, it more likely suggests that he's near the bottom of the pecking order -- but the 25-year-old nonetheless took advantage of the opportunity, leading New York with 63 rushing yards on a healthy 5.3 YPC. Miller impressively ended the third quarter with a nine-yard rush after the Giants had been pinned back at their own four-yard line, and he added a 19-yard carry two plays into the fourth. While Devin Singletary is secure in his starting RB role and both Tyrone Tracy and Eric Gray looked good as the most likely No. 2 and No. 3 options Thursday, Miller could certainly carve out a role for New York this season and give himself a chance to rise up the depth chart with continued strong play.
