Anthony Miller - Page 3 - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Suiting up Thursday Miller is active for Thursday's game against the Panthers.

Impact With Danny Amendola (thigh) sidelined, there's an opportunity for Miller to earn snaps in the slot in his first action for the Texans. Miller has been a healthy scratch for the first two games of the season, but he'll also be on the receiving end of passes from third-round rookie Davis Mills, so it remains to be seen what kind of chemistry the two may have.

Could have opportunity Thursday Miller could see opportunities on offense in his team debut against the Panthers on Thursday, Brooks Kubena of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact Miller was listed as a healthy scratch during Houston's first two games of the 2021 season, but the fact that he dealt with a dislocated shoulder during the preseason may have played a part in those decisions. Now, with Danny Amendola (thigh) ruled out and Nico Collins (shoulder) on IR, there could be an opportunity for Miller to immediately slot into a significant offensive role behind Brandin Cooks and Chris Conley. With Tyrod Taylor (hamstring) also now on IR, whatever targets Miller does see will come at the hands of rookie third-round pick Davis Mills.

Will make team debut Thursday Texans head coach David Culley said Miller will be active for Thursday's game against the Panthers, Brooks Kubena of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact Miller was inactive for the Texans' first two games of the season in coach's decision, but a dislocated shoulder suffered in Houston's preseason opener may have factored into him being scratched to some degree. Regardless, Miller is apparently healthy now, and he'll have the opportunity to stake his claim to a regular lineup spot with Houston with rookie wideout Nico Collins (shoulder) already ruled out for Week 3 and veteran slot man Danny Amendola (hamstring) considered unlikely to play. Miller is the top candidate to replace Amendola in the slot, and if Miller can quickly demonstrate a rapport with rookie signal-caller Davis Mills, he could remain ahead of Amendola in the pecking order heading into Week 4.

Another healthy scratch Miller is a healthy scratch for the second consecutive week Sunday at Cleveland.

Impact It appears that Miller's absence is once again not injury-related, with the former second-round pick simply finding himself too low on the depth chart to make the active roster. Look for Brandin Cooks, Nico Collins, Chris Conley and Danny Amendola to be the four primary wideouts used, with a fair share of two-TE sets as well.

Not expected to play Sunday Miller is expected to be inactive for Sunday's game against the Browns, Aaron Wilson of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.

Impact Wilson reiterated that Miller's shoulder, which he dislocated in the first preseason game against Green Bay, is fine, and the 26-year-old wideout will simply be a healthy scratch. Brandin Cooks, Chris Conley, Danny Amendola and Nico Collins will operate as the top wideouts for Tyrod Taylor on Sunday.

Expected to return for Week 2 Miller (coach's decision) is expected to return for Sunday's Week 2 matchup against the Browns, Aaron Wilson of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.

Impact Although Miller suffered a dislocated shoulder in the Texans' preseason opener, he wasn't on the team's injury report ahead of the team's Week 1 matchup, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports. However, Miller still was held out during the win over the Jaguars. Coach David Culley said Monday that Miller likely could have suited up Week 1, but the team wanted to preserve his long-term health. Assuming he's active against Cleveland, the 26-year-old will attempt to carve out a role with his new team.

SEPTEMBER 13, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Inactive Sunday Miller is inactive for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.

Impact Miller wasn't listed on the Texans' final Week 1 injury report, but he's coming back from a shoulder injury and will sit this one out. In his absence, Brandin Cooks, Chris Conley, Nico Collins and Danny Amendola are line to handle the team's WR duties Sunday.

SEPTEMBER 9, 2021 • HOUSTONTEXANS.COM

Fine for Week 1 Miller (shoulder) isn't listed on the injury report for Sunday's game against Jacksonville, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Miller has a lengthy history of shoulder issues, most recently suffering a dislocation in Houston's preseason opener. He'll make it back for Week 1 and could even see regular snaps as the third/slot receiver, but a Texans offense led by QB Tyrod Taylor isn't likely to generate big numbers for its pass catchers.

Texans WR Anthony Miller returns to practice Houston Texans receiver Anthony Miller returned to practice on Monday as the team prepares for the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 1.

Back at practice Miller (shoulder) was present for Monday's practice, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.

Impact This marks the first practice for Miller since he dislocated his shoulder last month. As for the wide receiver's chances of suiting up for Sunday's season opener against the Jaguars, coach David Culley noted, "We'll know more about that on Wednesday," per Deepi Sidhu of the Texans' official site. Once he's cleared to play, Miller has a chance to claim a key role in a Houston wideout corps that also includes Brandin Cooks, Chris Conley and Nico Collins.

Expected to play at some point Houston general manager Nick Caserio said Miller (shoulder) is expected "to play at some point this season," Brooks Kubena of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact Caserio said Miller is making progress in his rehab but more information is needed to determine when the slot receiver can return to practice and eventually game action. It's hard to get a read on this situation. The Texans opted not to keep Keke Coutee or Alex Erickson, two slot receivers who competed for a role with Miller during training camp, which implies more hope for Miller than Caserio's comments imply.

May return Week 1 or 2 An MRI revealed no structural damage in Miller's dislocated right shoulder, which could allow the wide receiver to return as soon as Week 1 or 2, NFL reporter Aaron Wilson reports.

Impact The injury was described as "slight" by coach David Culley following Saturday's preseason win at Green Bay, but his tone was a bit different Monday afternoon, when he told Aaron Reiss of The Athletic that he was "hopeful" Miller will play again this season. The prognosis finally has some clarity following the MRI, but it appears Miller is set for an absence of some sort to begin the coming campaign. In any case, Keke Coutee has a clearer path to be the Texans' top option in the slot out of the gate.

AUGUST 16, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Facing long absence? Coach David Culley said he's hopeful Miller (shoulder) will play this season, Aaron Reiss of The Athletic reports.

Impact The comment hints at concern about a long-term absence, which makes sense given Miller's worrisome history of shoulder dislocations. Culley called it a "slight dislocation" after Saturday's preseason game, but his update Monday afternoon was less optimistic. Miller and Keke Coutee seem to be competing for slot snaps in Houston.

Listed second on depth chart Miller is listed as second on the unofficial depth chart behind Brandin Cooks, Brooks Kubena of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact Both Miller and Keke Coutee appear as wide receivers on the depth chart, as the Texans did not indicate a branch for slot receivers. They are primarily slot receivers, so showing up second at wideout on the chart should not mean much. One of the two will be the primary slot receiver when Houston goes three wide.

Available for start of camp Miller (undisclosed) worked out with the Texans on the first day of training camp Wednesday, John McClain of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact Miller had sustained a minor injury while participating in offseason activities with the Bears, but he was healthy for the start of Houston's training camp, four days after the Texans acquired him. After Houston traded Randall Cobb to Green Bay earlier in the day, Miller looks like the top slot receiver on the depth chart, although Keke Coutee will challenge him during camp and the preseason.
