Scotty Miller Injury News & Updates
Keep up with the latest injuries from the Dolphins vs Steelers game on Monday with our National Football League injury report.Nov 30, 2025
Healthy scratch Week 13
Miller (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Bills, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Miller has played in each of the Steelers' last two games after missing three games due to a broken finger. He's been used sparingly in the offense since his return and won't take the field Sunday, which opens the door for Ke'Shawn Williams and Ben Skowronek to see more work on offense. Miller's next chance to play is Week 14 against the Ravens on Sunday, Dec. 7.
Nov 12, 2025
Past finger injury
Miller (finger) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Miller missed the Steelers' last three games while recovering from surgery to repair a broken finger. He was a full participant to open Week 11 prep, which puts the veteran wide receiver on track to play against the Bengals on Sunday. Miller was used sparsely on offense prior to his injury, logging one catch (on two targets) for nine yards across six regular-season games.
Nov 7, 2025
Missing third straight game
Miller (finger) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Miller continues to recover from a procedure to repair a broken finger and will miss a third straight game as a result. He hasn't been able to practice since the surgery, and his next opportunity to play is Week 11 against the Bengals on Sunday, Nov. 16.
Nov 6, 2025
Participates in individual drills
Miller (finger) did not participate at practice Wednesday, but he did go through individual drills.
ANALYSIS
Miller has yet to return to practice as he continues to work his way back from a broken finger, but his ability to work off to the side on his own is a step in the right direction. The wide receiver will have one more chance to practice before Sunday night's matchup with the Chargers.
Nov 5, 2025
Still working through finger injury
Miller (finger) did not practice Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Miller has missed the Steelers' last two games while recovering from surgery to repair a broken finger. He hasn't practiced since sustaining the injury, and he's unlikely to play against the Chargers on Sunday if he's unable to practice in at least a limited capacity over the next two days.
Oct 31, 2025
Out for Week 9
Miller (finger) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Colts, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Miller has just one catch for nine yards across six appearances this season. He's well off the fantasy radar behind DK Metcalf, Calvin Austin and Roman Wilson in the Steelers' wideout room.
Oct 30, 2025
Another DNP on Thursday
Miller (finger) remained a non-participant at Thursday's practice.
ANALYSIS
Miller has been a non-participant in each of the Steelers' first two practices of Week 9, suggesting he's likely to miss a second consecutive game Sunday against the Colts due to a broken finger. Miller will have one more chance to practice in any capacity Friday.
Oct 29, 2025
Doesn't practice Wednesday
Miller (finger) did not practice Wednesday, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Miller broke his finger in practice during the Steelers' Week 8 prep, which prevented him from playing against the Packers on Sunday. He would have to return to practice in at least a limited capacity over the next two days in order to have a chance at playing in Week 9 against the Colts. Ben Skowronek (neck) will continue to see additional snaps at wide receiver for as long as Miller is sidelined.
Oct 28, 2025
On mend from finger surgery
Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said Tuesday that Miller recently had his broken finger repaired, but how "functional" the wideout is during practice this week will determine whether he plays Sunday against the Colts, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Miller appeared to sustained the injury during practice last week, as he was a limited participant Thursday before sitting out Friday's session and then getting ruled out ahead of Sunday's loss to the Packers. The 28-year-old had suited up in each of the Steelers' first six games but had seen only light snaps on offense, totaling just one reception for nine yards on two targets.
Oct 24, 2025
Won't play Sunday
Miller (finger) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Packers, Mike DeFabo of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The Bowling Green product downgraded from a limited practice session Thursday to a DNP on Friday, so it's no surprise that he'll be unavailable Sunday night. Miller has played 69 offensive snaps through six games this season, catching one of two targets for nine yards. While he's sidelined in Week 8, Ben Skowronek could get more opportunities as a receiver.
Oct 23, 2025
Dealing with finger injury
Miller was a limited participant in Thursday's practice due to a finger injury, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
The injury appears to be a new issue for Miller, as he wasn't listed on Wednesday's practice report. His participation in Friday's practice will provide more clarity on his chances of playing against the Packers on Sunday. The 2019 sixth-rounder has served in a depth role at wide receiver this season, so his absence in Week 8 would open the door to a slight uptick in offensive snaps for Ben Skowronek and Ke'Shawn Williams.
Oct 17, 2025
Logs one reception Thursday
Miller secured his lone target for nine yards during Thursday's 33-31 loss to Cincinnati.
ANALYSIS
Miller was on the field for just eight offensive snaps Thursday after logging double-digit snaps in each of the team's last two games, but he still recorded his first reception of the season in the loss. Even though Calvin Austin (shoulder) remained sidelined for a second consecutive game Thursday, most of the Steelers' passing game flowed through DK Metcalf, Jaylen Warren and the team's three tight ends, leaving minimal work for Miller and the rest of the team's wide receivers.
Oct 15, 2025
Fails to draw target in Week 6
Miller didn't draw a target while playing 26 of the Steelers' 59 snaps on offense in Sunday's 23-9 win over the Browns.
ANALYSIS
Miller has been active for all five of Pittsburgh's games to date but has yet to record a reception and has drawn just one target. The 26 snaps he played Week 6 were a season-high total and ranked second among Steelers wideouts, but Miller was unable to capitalize on the increased time on the field. Despite the underwhelming showing in Week 6, Miller could in store for another boosted snap count Thursday against the Bengals with fellow receiver Calvin Austin (shoulder) seemingly trending toward missing a second straight game.
Aug 22, 2025
Effective in exhibition victory
Miller secured all three of his targets for 82 yards during the Steelers' 19-10 preseason win over Carolina on Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Miller capped off an impressive preseason Thursday, as he recorded at least 38 receiving yards in each of his three appearances. In total, he secured all nine of his targets for 167 yards. Although the Steelers rested Aaron Rodgers and DK Metcalf throughout the preseason, it's possible that Miller's production earns him some playing time once the regular season gets underway, especially if the team doesn't acquire another receiver.
Aug 10, 2025
Productive in preseason opener
Miller secured all four of his targets for 47 yards during Saturday's 31-25 preseason win over the Jaguars.
ANALYSIS
Miller had a limited role over 13 regular-season appearances with Pittsburgh last year, securing five of nine targets for 69 yards. However, he had a strong showing during Saturday's preseason opener, tying for the team lead in targets and receptions while recording the second-highest yardage total among the team's receivers. The Steelers lost George Pickens during the offseason but acquired DK Metcalf, so Miller will likely continue to have limited upside in 2025.
Mar 13, 2025
Re-signs with Pittsburgh
The Steelers are re-signing Miller on a one-year contract Thursday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Miller appeared in 13 regular-season games with Pittsburgh in 2024, securing five of nine targets for 69 yards. He also contributed on special teams and spent time on the practice squad. He'll spend the offseason competing for a similar depth role with the team.
Jan 13, 2025
Reverts to practice squad
Miller reverted to the Steelers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
ANALYSIS
Miller was not active for Saturday's wild-card game against the Ravens despite being elevated to the 53-man roster. The 2019 sixth-round pick appeared in 13 regular-season games for the Steelers and logged five catches (on nine targets) for 69 yards. Miller will explore his options during the offseason and will look to join in need of depth at wide receiver.
Jan 11, 2025
Not playing against Baltimore
Miller (coach's decision) is inactive for Saturday's AFC wild-card game against the Ravens, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Miller was elevated from the Steelers' practice squad to the active roster earlier Saturday, but the veteran wideout will observe the contest in street clothes. He would have a chance to play in the AFC divisional round should the Steelers take care of business Saturday.
Jan 11, 2025
Elevated for wild-card matchup
The Steelers elevated Miller from their practice squad to their active roster Saturday, Dale Lolley of the Steelers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Miller was waived by Pittsburgh on Thursday, but he was re-signed to the practice squad two days later and was subsequently elevated to the active roster. The veteran wide receiver played in 13 regular-season contests for the Steelers this season, tallying five catches on nine targets for 69 yards. Miller should continue serving in a depth wideout role in Saturday's wild-card contest against Baltimore with the Steelers' receiver corps in good health.
Jan 9, 2025
Let go by Pittsburgh
The Steelers waived Miller on Thursday, Teresa Varley of the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Miller signed a one-year deal with the Steelers in March of 2024 after playing for the Falcons in 2023. He finished the regular season with five catches (on nine targets) for 69 yards across 13 games. The Steelers could sign Miller to the practice squad over the next two days and elevate him to the active roster for Saturday's AFC wild-card game against the Ravens.
Dec 9, 2024
Tallies 38 receiving yards
Miller secured three of four targets for 38 yards during Sunday's 27-14 win over the Browns.
ANALYSIS
Miller didn't see the field in either of Pittsburgh's last two games, but he played 52 percent of the team's offensive snaps Sunday since George Pickens (hamstring) was inactive. Miller recorded his first catches since Week 3, but it seems unlikely that he'll maintain a role once Pickens is back to full health.
Nov 21, 2024
Won't play Week 12
Miller (coach's decision) is inactive for Thursday night's game against Cleveland.
ANALYSIS
Miller played eight snaps (seven on offense, one on special teams) during the Steelers' 18-16 win over the Ravens this past Sunday, but he did not register a stat in that contest. He'll be a healthy inactive for Thursday's game, and his next chance to play will be Week 13 against the Bengals on Sunday, Dec. 1.
Nov 10, 2024
Healthy scratch for Week 10
Miller (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Commanders, Dale Lolley of the Steelers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
With Mike Williams making his Steelers debut Sunday and Ben Skowronek back from injured reserve, Miller will be a healthy scratch for the first time this year. Miller has failed to register a catch since Week 3 against the Chargers, during which he caught two passes for 31 yards.
Oct 16, 2024
No targets against Raiders
Miller failed to record a single target in Sunday's 32-13 win over the Raiders.
ANALYSIS
Miller played just 14 of the Steelers' 67 offensive snaps Sunday, operating as the No. 4 receiver behind George Pickens, Van Jefferson and Calvin Austin. The veteran wideout has now failed to record a target in five out of six games so far in 2024. Miller should be ignored for fantasy purposes heading into a Week 7 matchup against the Jets.
Sep 23, 2024
Logs two receptions in Week 3
Miller secured both of his targets for 31 yards during Sunday's 20-10 win over the Chargers.
ANALYSIS
Miller wasn't targeted over the first two weeks of the regular season, but his snap count increased against the Chargers, as he was on the field for 37 offensive snaps after playing no more than 17 in either of his first two appearances of the season. Although the 2019 sixth-rounder had an encouraging performance in Sunday's win, it appears as though he'll have an inconsistent role in the Steelers' offense this year.
Aug 10, 2024
Tallies three receptions in loss
Miller secured three of four targets for 47 yards during Friday's 20-12 preseason loss to the Texans.
ANALYSIS
Miller joined the Steelers on a one-year deal in May and is competing for a depth role at wide receiver after the team lost Diontae Johnson, Allen Robinson and Miles Boykin during the offseason. Miller made a solid first impression during Friday's preseason opener, as he tied for the team lead in receptions and finished second in receiving yards, fueled by a 38-yard catch to begin the fourth quarter. The 2019 sixth-rounder appeared in all 17 regular-season games during his lone season in Atlanta last year but secured just 11 of his 16 targets for 161 yards and two touchdowns. He hasn't topped 200 receiving yards in a season since the 2020 campaign in which he was catching passes from Tom Brady in Tampa Bay, so even if Miller lands a spot on the Steelers' 53-man roster this year, he seems unlikely to be an appealing fantasy option.
May 8, 2024
Lands in Pittsburgh
Miller agreed to terms Wednesday on a one-year contract with the Steelers, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Miller reunites with offensive coordinator Arthur Smith in Pittsburgh, after he logged a 11-161-2 across 17 appearances with the Falcons last season. He now gets a chance to compete with names like Quez Watkins, Denzel Mims, Marquez Callaway and Dez Fitzpatrick for depth opportunities with the Steelers this offseason.
Jan 17, 2024
Scores twice in 2023
Miller finished 2023 with 11 receptions for 161 yards and two touchdowns across 17 appearances.
ANALYSIS
After four years in Tampa Bay, Miller signed a one-year deal to join the Falcons last offseason. It took the speedster until Week 5 to record his first catch with Atlanta, and despite carving out a role after that, he posted modest production, totaling nine catches (14 targets) for 95 yards from Weeks 5-17. Miller flashed in the season finale, catching both of his targets for a season-high 66 yards, but it wasn't enough to salvage his fantasy campaign. Miller is one of a handful of Falcons wideouts set to be an unrestricted free agent this offseason, so whoever replaces Arthur Smith may have a completely revamped pass-catching corps behind Drake London, Kyle Pitts and Bijan Robinson.
Dec 25, 2023
Catches one pass
Miller caught his only target for 15 yards during Sunday's 29-10 win over the Colts.
ANALYSIS
Miller played a season-low seven offensive snaps but caught his first pass since Week 12. From Weeks 5-12, Miller caught seven of eight targets for 76 yards and two scores, but outside of that stretch, he has secured just two of six targets for 19 yards.
Dec 13, 2023
Goes catchless on three targets
Miller played 18 of 72 snaps on offense in Sunday's 29-25 loss to the Buccaneers and failed to haul in any of his three targets.
ANALYSIS
Facing off against his former team for the second time in his career, Miller was unable to capitalize on either of his targets deep downfield and was also unable to connect with quarterback Desmond Ridder on a short look in the fourth quarter. During his time in Tampa Bay, the speedy Miller occasionally showed the ability to rip of big chunks of yardage while he was on the receiving end of deep targets from Jameis Winston or Tom Brady, but he's delivered just one splash play -- a 46-yard reception in Week 7 -- during his first season in Atlanta. It hasn't helped Miller's case that he's been limited to a rotational role with the Falcons, as his snap shares have ranged between 12 and 39 percent this season.
Oct 16, 2023
Non-factor in loss
Miller caught one of two targets for four yards during Sunday's 24-16 loss to the Commanders.
ANALYSIS
The Falcons were surprisingly pass-happy against Washington, which allowed Miller to play a season-high 28 offensive snaps. His production was still muted, so he doesn't have much fantasy value moving forward. However, he is a player to keep an eye on. It appears he's closing in on the No. 2 wideout role, which is currently occupied by Mack Hollins. Hollins has seen fewer snaps over the last two weeks, while Miller's role has increased, but it'll be difficult for either player to carve out strong production as long as Bijan Robinson, Kyle Pitts and Drake London are available.
Oct 9, 2023
Catches first pass of 2023
Miller caught both of his targets for 10 yards during Sunday's 21-19 win over the Texans.
ANALYSIS
Miller played a season-high 18 offensive snaps and garnered his first two targets of the campaign. The speedster hasn't been able to get free for a big play yet, but he remains a steady piece of the gameplan and has played double-digit offensive snaps in three straight weeks. While Miller's role is growing, it's difficult for fantasy managers to trust any Falcons pass catcher on a consistent basis.
Sep 11, 2023
No targets in season opener
Miller played 17 snaps (10 offensive) and didn't record a target, but he registered one solo tackle. He also returned one punt for four yards.
ANALYSIS
Miller signed this offseason to replace Damiere Byrd as Atlanta's top deep threat, but as expected, it'll be difficult for the speedster to garner many targets playing in a run-heavy offense that also features three former first-round picks at skill positions. While he was a non-factor on offense, Miller did some good things on special teams and split punt-return duties with Dee Alford.
Aug 11, 2023
Makes cameo appearance Friday
Miller caught his only target for nine yards in Friday's preseason win over the Dolphins.
ANALYSIS
After four seasons in Tampa Bay, Miller signed a one-year deal with Atlanta in the spring and was thought to be set as the No. 3 wideout behind Drake London and Mack Hollins. However, while the Falcons sat out all their main starters in the team's preseason opener, Miller actually saw brief action and caught his only pass from third-string QB Logan Woodside on the opening drive. He may not be as secure in his spot as was previously assumed, but unless another receiver makes a strong push in camp, Miller should head into Week 1 with a role in three-wide sets.
Mar 28, 2023
Headed to Atlanta
Miller is slated to sign a one-year deal with the Falcons, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
The 2019 sixth-rounder finished up the 2022 season with 23 catches (40 targets) for 185 yards in 15 games with the Buccaneers, while working in a wide receiver corps that also included Mike Evans, Chris Godwin, Russell Gage and Julio Jones. Prior to his addition, Atlanta's top WR options were Drake London and Mack Hollins, and as the team's depth chart currently stands, Miller has a chance to see an uptick in volume in 2023, given the Falcons' clear need to bolster their pass-catching unit.
Jan 18, 2023
Quiet finish to season
Miller didn't log a target over six snaps from scrimmage during the Buccaneers' 31-14 wild-card loss to the Cowboys on Monday night. He finished the 2022 regular season with 23 receptions (40 targets) for 185 yards and no touchdowns and one rush attempt for eight yards across 15 games.
ANALYSIS
The end to Miller's season -- and likely finish to his Buccaneers tenure as well -- was fittingly quiet. Factoring in Monday's blanking, the fourth-year speedster recorded just two receptions for 15 yards on six targets over his final eight games. Miller was also inactive for two games during the campaign, and as an unrestricted free agent, it appears he's likely headed elsewhere in 2023.
Jan 9, 2023
One catch in Week 18 loss
Miller secured one of two targets for eight yards in the Buccaneers' 30-17 loss to the Falcons on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Miller logged 21 snaps from scrimmage, his highest tally since Week 9, as the Buccaneers pulled most starters before halftime. However, while the speedster recorded his first reception since Week 13, Miller still saw minimal action and is likely to be a virtual non-factor on offense during next Monday night's wild-card matchup against the Cowboys.
Jan 5, 2023
Limited to special teams Week 17
Miller did not see any snaps on offense during the Buccaneers' 30-24 win over the Panthers in Week 17.
ANALYSIS
The fourth-year speedster hasn't recorded a catch since Week 13 and has logged just four targets overall since that contest, but Week 17 marked the first 2022 game in which he's enjoyed active status yet failed to log a snap from scrimmage. However, Miller could bounce right back with a solid allotment of playing time in Sunday's regular-season finale versus the Falcons, considering the Buccaneers are likely to afford reserves such as Miller more snaps than usual as the game unfolds.
Dec 27, 2022
Blanked on stat sheet Sunday
Miller failed to bring in his only target over four snaps on offense during the Buccaneers' 19-16 win overtime win against the Cardinals on Sunday night.
ANALYSIS
Miller's minimal role was par for the course during the stretch run of the season, as the speedster has seen 15 snaps or fewer in the last six games while recording just three receptions for 32 yards in that span. With the Buccaneers' top four wide receivers available, Miller continues to project for sparse usage on offense over the remaining two games of the regular season.
Dec 15, 2022
Fails to bring in only target
Miller failed to bring in his only target during the Buccaneers' 35-7 loss to the 49ers in Week 14.
ANALYSIS
Miller logged 11 snaps on offense (17 percent) but failed to crack the stat sheet for the second time in the last three games. Miller is unlikely to have any relevance during the fantasy postseason unless multiple injuries strike in front of him at receiver.
Dec 6, 2022
Minimal role in Week 13
Miller secured one of two targets for seven yards in the Buccaneers' 17-16 win over the Saints on Monday night.
ANALYSIS
Miller was in on just 15 snaps, which represented a 19 percent share of the Buccaneers' offensive plays. The speedy reserve wideout is likely due for similar low-volume games the rest of the way as long as Julio Jones and Russell Gage are both healthy in front of him as the No. 3 and No. 4 receivers ahead of him.
Nov 29, 2022
Limited use Week 12
Miller went without a target while playing two of the Buccaneers' 66 snaps on offense in Sunday's 23-17 overtime loss to the Browns.
ANALYSIS
Russell Gage (hamstring) was inactive for the fourth straight game due to injury, but since all of Mike Evans, Chris Godwin and Julio Jones have been available during that stretch, Miller hasn't been able to carve out much of a role on offense. Whenever Gage is cleared to return to game action, Miller and/or Breshad Perriman could end up being healthy inactives.
Nov 15, 2022
Pair of receptions in Week 10 win
Miller brought in both targets for 25 yards in the Buccaneers' 21-16 win over the Seahawks on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Miller continued to hold down a serviceable role in the offense as the clear No. 4 receiver, and although he logged four fewer snaps (14) than Breshad Perriman, he was the only one of the two to see any targets. Miller has re-emerged to an extent in the offense with four consecutive multi-catch games, but his upside is still significantly limited as long as the top trio of Mike Evans, Chris Godwin and Julio Jones are healthy in front of him.
Nov 6, 2022
Season-high seven catches
Miller caught seven of eight targets for 53 yards in Sunday's 16-13 win over the Rams.
ANALYSIS
The fourth-year receiver posted his best numbers of the season as Russell Gage (hamstring) was inactive and Julio Jones ineffective. Miller's role in a deep receiving corps is erratic and largely dependent on the health of the players ahead of him on the depth chart, making him a risky option in Week 10 as the Buccaneers head to Germany to face the Seahawks.
Oct 29, 2022
Another two catches Thursday
Miller brought in both targets for 13 yards in the Buccaneers' 27-22 loss to the Ravens on Thursday night.
ANALYSIS
Miller recorded his second straight two-catch effort, which, while not exactly noteworthy, at least gives him a semblance of relevance in a struggling offense. Miller has four multi-catch efforts overall this season and logged 19 snaps Thursday night, and while he might be a slightly better fringe Buccaneers fantasy option than Breshad Perriman, he's still unlikely to gain any true relevance unless multiple injuries strike the receiving corps.
Oct 25, 2022
Records pair of grabs in loss
Miller secured both targets for six yards in the Buccaneers' 21-3 loss to the Panthers on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
The speedster's pair of receptions represented a slight bump in involvement after he logged just two snaps without a target in Week 6, but his yardage total made his contributions negligible. Miller played on just eight snaps overall, and he's likely to remain a non-factor unless multiple injuries strike the Buccaneers' receivers.
Oct 10, 2022
Reemerges with four catches
Miller secured four of seven targets for 35 yards in the Buccaneers' 21-15 win over the Falcons on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Miller logged his second-highest snap tally of the season (35) and made good use of it, posting season highs in receptions and receiving yards. The fourth-year speedster's prospects of even making the final roster appeared somewhat grim this preseason, but Miller has contributed in two of the three games he's been called upon thus far with a combined 7-69 line on 15 targets between Week 2 and Sunday. If Breshad Perriman (knee/hamstring) remains sidelined in Week 6 against the Steelers, Miller could see another solid complementary role in that contest.
Oct 2, 2022
Inactive against Kansas City
Miller (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against Kansas City.
ANALYSIS
Miller was on the field for 52 offensive snaps last week since the Buccaneers were down several pass catchers, but he secured just one of five targets for four yards. He'll be a healthy scratch Sunday night with Mike Evans, Chris Godwin and Julio Jones back in action.
Sep 27, 2022
Does little with opportunity
Miller brought in just one of five targets for four yards in the Buccaneers' 14-12 loss to the Packers on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Miller played a robust 52 snaps from scrimmage with the Buccaneers down three receivers, yet as his final line implies, he largely squandered the opportunity. The Bowling Green product certainly brings plenty of speed to the table, but with just a 9-76 line on 22 targets over his last 11 regular-season games overall, Miller is unlikely to make any sort of impact whenever the team's receiving corps is even approximating full health.
Sep 22, 2022
Back to full practice
Miller (calf) practiced fully Thursday.
ANALYSIS
The Buccaneers' receiving corps seems poised to be depleted again Sunday versus the Packers, as Mike Evans will sit out due to a one-game suspension, Chris Godwin (hamstring) and Julio Jones (knee) have yet to practice this week, and Russell Gage (hamstring) and Breshad Perriman (knee) were limited again Thursday. Miller didn't take advantage of his eight targets Week 2 at New Orleans, turning them into three catches for 34 yards while taking one carry for eight yards. Still, he could earn a decent enough snap share to make an impact in the box score this weekend.
Sep 21, 2022
Bothered by calf
Miller (calf) was a limited practice participant Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Russell Gage (hamstring) and Breshad Perriman (knee) also were limited, while Julio Jones (knee) and Chris Godwin (hamstring) didn't practice and Mike Evans is suspended for one week. It thus remains unclear who will see targets from Tom Brady this Sunday against Green Bay, but the early outlook hints at Miller being involved even if he has a minor calf injury.
Sep 19, 2022
Three grabs in Week 2 win
Miller brought in three of eight targets for 34 yards and rushed once for eight yards in the Buccaneers' 20-10 win over the Saints on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Miller garnered active status with both Chris Godwin (hamstring) and Julio Jones (knee) sidelined, and the speedster played a total of 29 snaps from scrimmage (43 percent). While there wasn't much efficiency evident in Miller's line, his numbers qualify as serviceable on a day when Tom Brady threw for only 190 yards. The Bowling Green product could be back to inactive status for a Week 3 home showdown with the Packers if either/both of Godwin or Jones are available for that contest.
Sep 11, 2022
Inactive Sunday
Miller is inactive for Sunday night's season opener against the Cowboys.
ANALYSIS
Miller is the odd man out in Week 1, with Tampa Bay's top wide receivers Mike Evans, Chris Godwin, Russell Gage and Julio Jones all in uniform Sunday night. He's off the fantasy radar until or unless injuries hit the aforementioned quartet.
Aug 31, 2022
Surprisingly makes final roster
Miller made the Buccaneers' initial 53-man roster over Tyler Johnson, the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Johnson had the far better preseason showing than Miller, but ultimately, the fourth-year pro from Bowling Green survived final cuts while the former has already been claimed by the Texans off waivers. Miller currently slots in as the No. 6 receiver and a reserve option at returner, but it's certainly conceivable he could play at least a minor role in the offense over the course of the season given his speed and past body of work with Tom Brady.
Aug 28, 2022
Falls flat in preseason finale
Miller brought in one of two targets for minus-1 yard in the Buccaneers' 27-10 preseason loss to the Colts on Saturday night.
ANALYSIS
Miller logged 17 snaps from scrimmage overall, but as his final line indicates, he didn't do anything to help his already dwindling case for a roster spot. Miller certainly has his fair share of favorable history with the Buccaneers, yet considering the team's depth at receiver and the emergence of Tyler Johnson along with some other young wideouts may spell the end of the line for the Bowling Green product.
Aug 21, 2022
Trending toward losing spot?
Miller, who secured one of three targets for 15 yards in the Buccaneers' 13-3 preseason loss to the Titans on Saturday night, may be in danger of losing his roster spot, Joey Knight of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
ANALYSIS
The speedy Bowling Green product was shut out in the exhibition opener and then not only did little Saturday night, but also squandered a key opportunity. Knight notes Miller didn't hang on to what may have been Kyle Trask's best throw of the night, a deep pass down the right sideline late in the second quarter. The fourth-year pro's one grab did come on a 3rd-and-6 situation, but with undrafted free agent Deven Thompkins putting together another solid effort Saturday and also capable of filling a return role, Miller's chances of making the final 53-man roster may be dwindling.
Aug 13, 2022
Empty stat line in opener
Miller failed to bring in his only target in the Buccaneers' 26-24 preseason loss to the Dolphins on Saturday night.
ANALYSIS
Miller notably came up empty on a night where several of his fellow competitors for a depth receiver role put some strong play on film. The Bowling Green product does have a respectable body of work from prior seasons to rely on to an extent, but he'll certainly need to show a lot more in his ongoing bid for a roster spot during next Saturday night's road preseason battle against the Titans.

Feeling healthy at training camp
Miller, who dealt with a nagging turf toe injury most of 2021, has felt healthy through his first 10 training camp practices and has been given an opportunity to "do a lot of different things" thus far, Andrew Crane of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
ANALYSIS
Miller hasn't yet had much of a chance to run slot and options routes at the NFL level despite thriving in those at Bowling Green, but Buccaneers coaches are apparently giving him a bit more free rein this summer. Miller has also taken some reps as a kickoff returner and is apparently completely healed from the hamstring injury that prevented him from participating in minicamp, leaving him well-positioned for the heated battle with the likes of Breshad Perriman (leg), Cyril Grayson and Tyler Johnson for the last couple of receiver roster spots available behind the top quartet of Mike Evans (hamstring), Chris Godwin (knee), Russell Gage and Julio Jones.

Four grabs in season-ending loss
Miller brought in four of six targets for 38 yards during the Buccaneers' 30-27 loss to the Rams in their NFC divisional-round matchup Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Kept in proverbial mothballs for most of the regular season, Miller was due for a bump in volume Sunday with fellow downfield threats Cyril Grayson (hamstring) and Breshad Perriman (hip) out of action. The extra opportunity did come his way in the form of a season-high target tally, and the in-game ribs injury suffered by Tyler Johnson also played a part in Miller's enhanced involvement. With a mostly forgettable 2021 now behind him, the Bowling Green product will look to carve out a more consistent role in 2022.

Minor role in playoff opener
Miller brought in his only target for eight yards and rushed once for nine yards during the Buccaneers' 31-15 win over the Eagles in an NFC wild-card matchup Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Miller made a splash in Week 18 against the Panthers with a 43 rushing yards and a score on the ground, but he was back to making a minimal impact Sunday, even with fellow downfield threat Cyril Grayson (hamstring) out of action. The Bowling Green product is likely to be relegated to a similarly modest level of involvement in Sunday's divisional-round matchup against either the Cardinals or Rams.
Jan 10, 2022
Takes advantage of opportunity
Miller secured his only target for nine yards and rushed twice for 43 yards and a touchdown in the Buccaneers' 41-17 win over the Panthers on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
The third-year speedster had been an afterthought in the offense over the last several weeks, but he was able to finally make an impact in 2021 on the final Sunday of the campaign. Miller used his elite wheels on a fourth-quarter end around that saw him speed up the right sideline and then athletically tight-rope the sideline to get just over the pylon for the score. Miller saw all of nine targets in nine games during the regular season, but considering the depleted nature of Tampa Bay's receiving corps heading into the postseason, there's certainly a chance he'll see some opportunities behind the top trio of Mike Evans, Breshad Perriman and Tyler Johnson if Cyril Grayson (hamstring) is sidelined for Sunday's wild-card matchup against the Eagles.

Doesn't see field in win
Miller was active but did not log a snap in the Buccaneers' 28-24 win over the Jets on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Miller's status as a non-participant in the offense only further solidifies how far he's apparently fallen in the wideout hierarchy for the Buccaneers. Tampa Bay will be down yet another pass catcher once Antonio Brown is eventually released, but it remains to be seen if that development will actually translate to any meaningful action for Miller, even in the relatively meaningless Week 18 finale versus the Panthers.
Dec 28, 2021
No grabs in win
Miller failed to come up with his only target in the Buccaneers' 32-6 win over the Panthers on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Miller was presumably in line for an expanded role with Mike Evans (hamstring), Breshad Perriman (reserve/COVID-19) and Chris Godwin (IR-knee) out of action, but the speedster logged all of three snaps from scrimmage. Meanwhile, Cyril Grayson (53 snaps) and Tyler Johnson (36 snaps) far outpaced him, although the latter didn't see so much as a target. With Evans having been placed in COVID-19 protocols Monday, there's certainly a chance he misses the Week 17 matchup against the Jets as well, but Perriman's likely return means Miller may once again be an afterthought.
Dec 20, 2021
Pair of catches in shutout loss
Miller brought in two of three targets for 18 yards in the Buccaneers' 9-0 loss to the Saints on Sunday night.
ANALYSIS
After serving as a healthy scratch in Week 14 against the Bills, Miller was back in uniform Sunday night and his availability was timely. Mike Evans (hamstring) and Chris Godwin (knee) both exited the contest early, leading to a modest amount of volume for Miller. The Bowling Green product could be even busier over the last three games of the regular season, considering Godwin is out for the remainder of the contest due to a torn ACL and Evans could miss the Week 16 contest against the Panthers.
Dec 12, 2021
Inactive Week 14
Miller (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Bills, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The third-year wideout has been active the last two games after a seven-game stint on injured reserve due to a turf toe issue, but he logged all of seven snaps from scrimmage over that pair of contests. Miller won't be in on any plays Sunday, with the likes of Breshad Perriman and Tyler Johnson set to serve as the primary complementary options behind the top wideout duo of Mike Evans and Chris Godwin.
Dec 6, 2021
Limited to four snaps again
Miller did not log any targets across four targets in the Buccaneers' 30-17 win over the Falcons on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Miller once again saw a minimal role on offense in his second game back from injured reserve and was the No. 5 receiver in terms of playing time. The speedster's outlook doesn't figure to brighten much for the foreseeable future despite Antonio Brown (suspension/ankle) set to miss at least the next two games.
Nov 30, 2021
Four offensive snaps in return
Miller (toe) failed to bring in his only target during Sunday's 38-31 win over the Colts, a game that marked his return from injured reserve.
ANALYSIS
The speedster was eased back into action with four snaps from scrimmage and another four from special teams. Miller should be primed to see an uptick in playing time in coming games, although once Antonio Brown (ankle) returns to action, the Bowling Green product will likely have an unpredictable week-to-week target share.
Nov 26, 2021
May be active this week
Coach Bruce Arians said Friday that he'll wait until Sunday to decide if Miller is active for a 1:00 ET matchup with the Colts, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Miller was activated from IR on Tuesday, potentially setting up his first appearance since Week 3. He might even be the Bucs' No. 3 receiver - or at least get some of those snaps - with Antonio Brown (ankle) out for a fifth straight game and Tyler Johnson averaging 26.5 YPG in his absence.

Runs routes with Brady
Miller (hamstring) was one of several Buccaneers skill-position players to work out with Tom Brady at Berkeley Preparatory School on Tuesday, Rick Stroud and Joey Knight of the Tampa Bay Times report.
ANALYSIS
Miller's participation in the workout, which was apparently organized and coordinated by Brady, is reason for optimism on a couple of fronts. One, it's encouraging the second-year receiver is apparently recovered enough from the hamstring injury that cut short his 2019 season to run routes at this point. Additionally, any on-field time Miller can spend with Brady in the absence of normal OTAs is naturally beneficial, as the speedy receiver will be vying to secure the No. 3 wideout job this summer now that Breshad Perriman is in New York. Miller was just starting to show flashes last season when he went down with his injury in Week 15 versus the Lions, and he should face stiff job competition from rookie fifth-round pick Tyler Johnson and third-year pro Justin Watson in training camp and preseason.

Faces competition from draft pick
Miller (hamstring), who is expected to compete for the No. 3 receiver job vacated by the departed Breshad Perriman, could face competition from 2020 fifth-round pick Tyler Johnson.
ANALYSIS
Miller's impressive wheels presumably give him a leg up on both Johnson and third-year wideout Justin Watson in terms of making up for the loss of speed brought about by Perriman's exit in free agency. However, if last season is any indication, coach Bruce Arians will get creative with any receiver spots behind starters Mike Evans and Chris Godwin, potentially operating a timeshare of sorts at the No. 3 slot depending on formations, defensive matchups and other factors. Miller will have to build on the modest flashes he was able to exhibit last season, when he battled injury but averaged an impressive 15.4 yards per grab on his 13 receptions. One area where Johnson might make for an especially viable stand-in for Miller would be near the goal line, as the rookie brings a well-established track record of red-zone success from his college days at Minnesota and has a four-inch height advantage over the 5-foot-9 second-year wideout.

Vying for No. 3 job
Miller (hamstring) is a strong candidate for the Buccaneers' No. 3 wideout spot in the wake of Breshad Perriman's departure, Scott Reynolds of PewterReport.com reports. "I don't like to look at numbers (on the depth chart) and necessarily go for specific spots," Miller said. "I'm the type of person that just tries to be the best he can be on an everyday basis. Wherever that lands me, it lands me. But obviously, with B.P. going to the Jets that spot is open and I'm going to want to be on the field as much as
ANALYSIS
A combination of limited salary cap room and a lack of prominent receivers on the open market opens up a fairly sizable path to the No. 3. job for Miller, who displayed flashes of his talent during his rookie season before seeing it cut short due to a hamstring injury in Week 15. Miller's final 2019 line was a modest 13-200-1 over 10 games, but he posted multi-catch efforts in three of his last four contests of the campaign. The speedy Bowling Green product is naturally excited about the prospect of catching passes from the legendary Tom Brady this coming season, and he concedes to having already put a lot of film study in on Julian Edelman, a long-time favorite of his new quarterback and a receiver who is similar to Miller in stature. Notably, the second-year wideout is appreciably faster than Edelman, but Miller is working on adding muscle this offseason after estimating he dipped below 170 pounds at times last season.

Injures hamstring Sunday
Miller sustained a hamstring injury during Sunday's game at Detroit, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Miller has tended to a hamstring issue since early August, missing time in the preseason and the Buccaneers' two games prior to this one. The team cleared him for action after he put in a full practice Thursday, only for Miller to seemingly aggravated the injury Sunday. Before his exit, he hauled in all three targets for 49 yards and one touchdown. With Mike Evans (foot) sidelined, the receiving corps is down to Chris Godwin, Breshad Perriman, Justin Watson and Ishmael Hyman.
Nov 27, 2019
Limited to start week
Miller was limited in Wednesday's practice due to a hamstring injury.
ANALYSIS
Miller looks to have suffered a hamstring issue during Week 12's win over the Falcons. There's not yet any reason to worry that the rookie sixth-round pick is in danger of missing any time, and he'll have two more opportunities to upgrade his level of participation ahead of Sunday's tilt against the Jaguars.
