IR stint expected
Miller was diagnosed with a high ankle sprain and a hairline fracture following the Raider's 25-24 loss to the Bears on Sunday, Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Miller sustained the injury early in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game, which led to him being carted off the field. His loss is a crucial one for Las Vegas, as he has started in 111 of 113 career games since being selected by the Raiders in the first round of the 2018 NFL Draft. Head coach Pete Carroll relayed Tuesday that Stone Forsythe is set to take over at left tackle for as long as Miller is sidelined, though rookie third-rounder Charles Grant will also get a look.

Dealing with high-ankle sprain
Miller sustained a high-ankle sprain in Sunday's 25-24 loss to the Bears, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
The 2018 first-round pick from UCLA sustained the injury on Las Vegas' final drive Sunday and will have an MRI soon, but the issue can potentially cause a multi-week absence. Miller will likely be sidelined for the Raiders' Week 5 matchup against the Colts. In his absence, Charles Grant is expected to start at left tackle.

Inks three-year, $66M extension
Miller signed a three-year, $66 million contract extension with the Raiders on Wednesday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Miller was headed into the final year of his contract and didn't participate in voluntary workouts earlier this offseason, as he was seeking a new deal. He now gets $42.5 million guaranteed and is signed through the 2028 season. Miller started all 17 regular-season games last season and has started 107 contests since since being selected with the 15th overall pick in the 2018 Draft.
Apr 16, 2025
Seeking new contract
Miller is not participating in Las Vegas' voluntary offseason workouts as he seeks a contract extension, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Miller is headed into the final year of a three-year, $54.015 million contract extension he signed prior to the start of the 2021 campaign. His $18 million average annual salary puts Miller as the 13th-highest-paid left tackle in the league, and the 29-year-old wants a refreshed deal after he started all 17 games last season. The Raiders have the third-most available cap space in the NFL, but it's unclear how the new regime of GM John Spytek and coach Pete Carroll view Miller as he heads into his eighth pro season.
Nov 15, 2024
Will play vs. Miami
Miller (ankle) logged a full practice Friday and does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Dolphins.
ANALYSIS
Miller suffered an ankle injury during the Raiders' Week 9 loss to the Bengals. However, the Week 10 bye seems to have done the trick, as Miller was able to practice this week and finished strong will a full session Friday. Barring any setbacks, the 2018 first-round pick should start at left tackle for Sunday's contest.
Nov 3, 2024
Spotted with boot
Miller (ankle) was spotted with a boot on his right foot in the locker room after Sunday's 41-24 loss to the Bengals, Tashan Reed of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Miller was forced to exit Sunday's contest early with a right foot/ankle injury and he could be sidelined moving forward as a result of the injury. With Las Vegas idle in Week 10, the offensive tackle will have an extra week to get right before the team travels to face the Dolphins on Nov. 17.

Aug 20, 2024
Passes physical
Miller (shoulder) was reinstated from the Raiders' active/PUP list Tuesday after passing his physical.
ANALYSIS
Miller opened training camp on the PUP list due to a shoulder injury. The 2018 first-round pick is slated to serve as the Raiders' starting left tackle, and now that he's healthy, he'll work to catch up to speed with the first-team offense.
Aug 11, 2024
Might return next week

ANALYSIS
The left tackle suffered a shoulder injury near the end of last season and began training camp on the active/PUP list. The 2018 first-round pick has started 90 games for the Raiders in his career. Miller is again listed as Las Vegas' starting left tackle going into 2024.
Jul 25, 2024
Needs a couple more weeks
Miller (shoulder, PUP) is expected to be sidelined for a couple more weeks, Vincent Bonsignore of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.
ANALYSIS
Miller has been working off to the side with the Raiders' training staff at the start of camp. He dealt with a shoulder injury toward the end of last season and may have underwent some sort of offseason procedure. The 15th overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft, Miller has started 90 games for the Silver and Black.
Jul 23, 2024
Opening camp on PUP list
Miller (undisclosed) was placed on the active/PUP list by Las Vegas on Tuesday, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Miller dealt with shoulder issues late last season, but it's unclear if that's the reason for his absence to open training camp or not. The offensive tackle will be eligible to return to practice and play at any point this preseason as he enters his seventh season with the Raiders after the team selected him in the first round of the 2018 NFL Draft.
Dec 25, 2023
Active Monday
Miller (shoulder) is active for Monday's game against the Chiefs.
ANALYSIS
The left tackle was questionable after being limited in practice all week. While Miller is active, he is not expected to reclaim his starting role, per Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com. Miller will likely serve as an emergency tackle so he can continue healing after missing two straight games.
Dec 13, 2023
Out for second straight week
Miller (shoulder) has been ruled out ahead of Thursday's game against the Chargers.
ANALYSIS
Miller missed Sunday's loss against the Vikings with a shoulder injury he sustained in Week 12 against the Chiefs. The Raiders are also without starting center Andre James (ankle) for Thursday's game. Jermaine Eluemunor is set to start at tackle for the second straight week in Miller's place.
Dec 8, 2023
Won't play versus Minnesota
Miller (shoulder) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Vikings, Rachel Gossen of the Raiders' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Miller has been dealing with a shoulder injury that he sustained in Week 10. He was unable to participate in practice all week and will not suit up for Sunday's contest. Justin Herron took over for Miller at left tackle when Miller left the Raiders' Week 12 loss to the Chiefs and the former figures to take over as the starter.
Nov 26, 2023
Questionable to return
Miller is questionable to return to Sunday's game against Kansas City due to a shoulder injury.
ANALYSIS
Miller was unavailable for the Raiders' last two games due to a shoulder injury, and it's unclear whether he'll be able to return for the final few minutes of Sunday's matchup. Justin Herron will likely see increased playing time in Miller's absence. The severity of Miller's current shoulder injury isn't yet clear, but he'll at least be able to rest during the team's Week 13 bye.
Nov 26, 2023
Will return Sunday
Miller (shoulder) is active Sunday against the Chiefs.
ANALYSIS
Miller has missed each of the team's last two games, but he'll return to hold down the left tackle spot for the Raiders on Sunday.
Nov 24, 2023
Could play Week 12
Miller (shoulder) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Vincent Bonsignore of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.
ANALYSIS
Miller has missed the Raiders' last two games with a shoulder issue, but he was able to log a week of limited practice sessions and he's got a chance to play in Sunday's affair. If the 2018 first-round pick were to miss his third game in a row, Justin Herron would likely get the nod at left tackle.
Nov 19, 2023
Officially out Sunday
Miller (shoulder) is inactive ahead of Sunday's game against the Dolphins.
ANALYSIS
Miller was able to log limited practice sessions both Thursday and Friday after missing the Raiders' Week 10 win over the Jets, but it now seems as if he'll need some more time to recover from his shoulder issue. Justin Herron is expected to take over at left tackle in Week 11.
Nov 17, 2023
Questionable Sunday
Miller (shoulder) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against Miami, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
The 28-year-old offensive lineman missed Las Vegas' Week 10 win over the Jets with a shoulder issue, but he was able to log limited practice sessions both Thursday and Friday, and he's got a chance to play this weekend. If Miller were to miss his second consecutive game this Sunday, Justin Herron would likely start at left tackle.
Nov 12, 2023
Unavailable Sunday
Miller (shoulder) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Jets.
ANALYSIS
Miller was doubtful for Sunday's matchup, so his status isn't particularly surprising. Justin Herron will likely start at left tackle against the Jets, while Miller's next chance to suit up will be next Sunday against the Dolphins.
Nov 10, 2023
Doubtful Sunday
Miller (shoulder) is listed as doubtful ahead of Sunday's game against the Jets.
ANALYSIS
The 28-year-old offensive lineman likely suffered a shoulder injury during the Raiders' Week 9 win over the Giants, as he's been unable to practice all week and is listed as doubtful for Sunday's contest. If Miller is unable to suit up this weekend, Justin Herron is expected to start at left tackle.
Nov 27, 2022
Suiting up Sunday
Miller (shoulder) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Seahawks, Adam Hill of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.
ANALYSIS
Miller was sidelined during the Raiders' Week 11 matchup versus Denver due to a shoulder issue, but he's now in line to return and start at left tackle this weekend following a trio of limited practice sessions throughout the week.
Nov 26, 2022
Could return against Seahawks
Miller (shoulder) is questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Seahawks, Vincent Bonsignore of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.
ANALYSIS
Miller was forced to miss the Raiders' Week 11 win over the Broncos. However, he logged a trio of limited practices ahead of Sunday's showdown with Seattle, leading the team to be optimistic that Miller will be able to return. It would be a big boost to the Raiders' offensive line, as Miller is locked in as the starting left tackle when healthy.
Nov 20, 2022
Sidelined Week 11
Miller (shoulder) has been ruled inactive for Sunday's game against the Broncos.
ANALYSIS
Miller will miss his first game of the season due to a shoulder injury, and his next opportunity to play will come against the Seahawks on Sunday, Nov. 27. With the starting left tackle out, either Jackson Barton or Thayer Munford will likely step in for this Week 11 contest, according to Levi Edwards of the Raiders' official site.
Mar 30, 2021
Inks huge extension
Miller signed a three-year contract extension worth more than $18 million per year Tuesday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Miller is now signed through the 2025 season, and he's guaranteed $42.6 million during that stretch. The 2018 first-round pick is locked in as the starting left tackle for the 2021 campaign. Miller is one of three returning starters on the Raiders' offensive line, with Richie Incognito and Denzelle Good being the others.
Nov 20, 2020
All clear for Sunday night
Miller (ankle) carries no injury designation heading into the Raiders' Week 11 matchup against the Chiefs after logging a full practice session Friday, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The 2018 first-round pick has been forced to sit out back-to-back contests, but it's all systems go for a rematch against the Chiefs. When the AFC West rivals last met Week 5, Miller and the Raiders' offensive line were capable of neutralizing Kansas City's defense to just one sack in a 40-32 triumph for Las Vegas.
Nov 14, 2020
Deemed doubtful
Miller (ankle) is considered doubtful for Sunday's game against the Broncos, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com
ANALYSIS
Miller was unable to practice all week, so this doubtful designation is seemingly even a bit optimistic. Final confirmation on his status should come closer to kickoff. Brandon Parker would presumably be in line to replace him at left tackle should he indeed get ruled out.
Nov 8, 2020
Sitting out Sunday
Miller (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Chargers.
ANALYSIS
The 25-year-old was considered a game-time decision after sitting out practice this week, and he won't be suiting up Sunday. Trent Brown (illness) is also out for the foreseeable future as the Raiders will be short handed on the offensive line. Brandon Parker is likely to start at left tackle in Miller's place.
Nov 8, 2020
Deemed game-time call
The Raiders are viewing Miller (ankle), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chargers, as a game-time decision, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Miller didn't practice at any point Wednesday through Friday, so despite the questionable designation implying that the offensive tackle has a 50-50 shot to play this weekend, Rapoport notes that he faces an uphill battle to avoid the inactive list. The Raiders will already be playing without their top right tackle in Trent Brown (reserve/COVID-19 list), so quarterback Derek Carr could be facing more pressure than usual if his left tackle is also sidelined.
Nov 7, 2020
Officially questionable
The Raiders have listed Miller (ankle) as questionable ahead of Sunday's contest against the Chargers, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Miller was unable to practice all week, so his questionable status seems a little optimistic at the moment. Still, he will see how he feels during pregame warmups before the team makes a final decision on his status.
Nov 5, 2020
Misses second straight practice
Miller (ankle) sat out his second consecutive practice session Thursday, Tashan Reed of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Miller has been as constant a presence as ever along the Raiders' offensive line, starting all seven games for the Silver and Black this year while playing 100 percent of the offensive workload in each contest. He dealt with a stint on the reserve/COVID-19 list in late October but was not forced to miss any time. A second consecutive missed practice due to an ankle issue sheds doubt on his status for a Week 9 matchup against the Chargers.
Oct 24, 2020
Will play Sunday
Miller has been activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list and will play in Sunday's game versus the Buccaneers, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Miller came into close contact with Trent Brown, who tested positive, but now Miller has completed enough negative tests to be cleared. He'll start at left tackle Sunday and protect Derek Carr's blindside.
Oct 23, 2020
Could play Sunday
Miller will be activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list if for Sunday's game versus the Buccaneers if he continues to test negative, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Miller came into contact with Trent Brown, who tested positive, but with another negative test Saturday, Miller will be available for Sunday's game versus the Buccaneers. If Miller isn't cleared in time, however, Brandon Parker likely would start at left tackle.
Oct 22, 2020
Placed on COVID-19 list
The Raiders placed Miller on the reserve/COVID-19 list Thursday, per the NFL's official transaction page.
ANALYSIS
Miller was placed on the list because he either tested positive for the virus, or came into close contact with someone who did. The UCLA product became the fifth offensive linemen for the Raiders to be placed on the COVID-19 on Thursday, leaving the team extremely thin up front. If he's unable to play in Week 7, Brandon Parker would be in line for the start at left tackle.
