Even though Miller did not practice, I doubt there is any way that he doesn’t play tomorrow. He is too important to the Texans offense not to be out there is there is any way that he can be. Since he has been questionable for weeks and still been able to go, I don’t see why he wouldn’t do so again tomorrow.
The fact that another kicker was not brought in should tell you what you need to know about Novak’s availability–he’ll be out there. Clowney, Cushing and Joseph should all go, they’ve kept going despite ailments for weeks. We’ll see how much of a role C.J. Fiedorowicz plays with a new quarterback under center.

The top part of the injury report should give you a big clue as to how this season has gone for the Bengals. Lots of guys have had injuries and missed games. Green and Hill should be able to play, but they have been banged up all year and will not be at their best once again.
