OT Blake Miller's status in jeopardy for Lions' game against Bills
Lions rookie Blake Miller is sidelined with a knee injury as the team prepares for a short week against Buffalo.
Detroit Lions rookie tackle Blake Miller is in doubt for their upcoming game against the Buffalo Bills due to a knee injury. Miller, who never missed an in-season practice during his rookie season at Clemson, walked through a practice session on Monday, Sept. 14, but was subsequently placed on the injury report. Lions head coach Dan Campbell stated that Miller's absence shouldn't be a significant concern in the long run, but the short week preceding Thursday night's game could pose challenges for his return.
Campbell acknowledged that the situation will become clearer once Miller is assessed the following day. Meanwhile, defensive end Christian Mahogany, who appeared to sustain a non-contact injury in the first quarter of Sunday's game, does not appear to be facing a long-term issue. However, center Juice Scruggs will be limited due to a knee concern.
Wide receiver Christian Izien, who was limited with a groin injury, is reported to be fully participating in practice.
