Officially added to active roster Miller has been officially elevated to the Bears' active roster in advance of Monday night's game against the Vikings.

Impact With David Montgomery (concussion) out this week, Miller joins a Chicago backfield that also includes Cordarrelle Patterson, Ryan Nall and Artavis Pierce. Miller was a lead back for much of his first seven seasons in the NFL while with the Dolphins and Texans, but the 29-year-old hasn't played in a game since tearing his ACL during the 2019 preseason. With that in mind, it remains to be seen how heavily he'll be used Monday, with a hot hand approach likely to dictate the team's Week 10 carries.

Will join Chicago for Monday night The Bears plan to elevate Miller from their practice squad ahead of Monday's game against the Vikings, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Impact Look for Chicago to make Miller's move to the roster official at some point Monday, as the team turns to the veteran to provide another healthy body in the backfield with top option David Montgomery (concussion) ruled out for the Week 10 matchup. Though Miller boasts more experience than any of the Bears' other options at the position (Cordarrelle Patterson, Ryan Nall and Artavis Pierce), the 29-year-old can't be considered a lock to serve as Chicago's lead back like he was for much of his first seven seasons in the NFL with the Dolphins and Texans. Miller hasn't played in a game since tearing his ACL in the 2019 preseason and probably won't be asked to handle a major workload in his Bears debut.

What Can Lamar Miller Bring to the Bears Offense? The Chicago Bears have a need for some depth at the running back position. But could Lamar Mille actually make a difference?

NOVEMBER 2, 2020 • 247SPORTS.COM

Closing in on promotion Coach Matt Nagy said Wednesday that Miller's "looking better and better each week" and is "getting close," Dan Wiederer of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Impact Miller remains on Chicago's practice squad, and Nagy's words suggest that the running back might still be getting up to speed physically in his recovery from a torn ACL. Once the team deems Miller ready, he should be elevated to the 53-man roster and join a thin backfield headlined by David Montgomery and jack-of-all-trades Cordarrelle Patterson.

Cut by Patriots The Patriots have released Miller, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact The move is a bit surprising, but Miller is bouncing back from an ACL injury and may need a little more time to return to his pre-injury form, as New England running backs coach Ivan Fears recently suggested, per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com. As Andrew Callahan of The Springfield Republican notes, it's still possible that the Patriots could bring Miller back at a later date.

Fellow running back injured A hand injury may threaten the Week 1 status of Miller's teammate, Damien Harris, ESPN's Mike Reiss reports.

Impact Harris was trending toward a key role in the Patriots' backfield to start the season, but his potential absence could create added early-season opportunities for last year's lead back Sony Michel, and perhaps Miller to a lesser extent, with pass-catching back James White and versatile Rex Burkhead also on hand. It may be a stretch to think that Miller -- who missed the 2019 season with a torn ACL -- is ready for a big workload out of the gate, but running backs coach Ivan Fears believes that 29-year-old, who averaged 4.6 yards per carry in 2018, can "bounce back and be the guy he was," while adding that he's sure "that's going to take a little time." The first order of business for Miller will be securing a roster spot, though it must be noted that some offseason rules changes have given teams added flexibility to stash players, something that could help Miller's cause in that regard.

Impact Over a year removed from the injury, Miller indicated that he believes he would be ready to play in a preseason game this week, if the exhibitions hadn't been cancelled by the NFL. Though Miller is trying to make his mark in a backfield that also includes Sony Michel, Damien Harris, James White and Rex Burkhead, the 29-year-old's track record and the fact that the team activated him from the PUP list suggests that he can't be written off. The roster moves the Patriots make in the coming days should add some clarity to the situation, but for now Miller's range of fantasy outcomes is wide, especially with Michel healthy again and with Harris making a push for early-down work.

Removed from PUP Miller (knee) has been taken off the PUP list to participate in Monday's practice, Zack Cox of NESN.com reports.

Impact Miller spent three weeks on the list after signing with the Patriots on Aug. 10. He'll now try to make his case for a roster spot, but it could be difficult now that Sony Michel (foot) is also available, joining Damien Harris and Rex Burkhead. The 29-year-old Miller missed all of last season with a torn ACL.

Placed on PUP list The Patriots are placing Miller on their active/PUP list, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

Impact The recently signed running back suffered a torn ACL last August, so the Patriots have elected to ease the 29-year-old into the mix. Assuming no lingering issues with his knee, once Miller returns to practice he'll look to carve out a role in New England's crowded backfield, which is currently minus Sony Michel, who's on the PUP list with a foot injury. Also in the mix are are pass-catching ace James White, Rex Burkhead, Damien Harris and undrafted rookie J.J. Taylor.
