Giants' struggles against the run get exposed in their loss to the Eagles
The New York Giants' inability to stop the run was a major cause of their 38-20 loss at Philadelphia that dropped them to 2-6OCTOBER 27 • Associated Press
Staying with G-Men The Giants signed Miller to the practice squad Wednesday, Dan Salomone of the team's official site reports.
Impact Miller made a strong case to make the Giants' 53-man roster after logging 14 catches (on as many targets) for 135 yards and 26 carries for 80 yards across three preseason games. He ultimately didn't make the cut after the Giants opted to go with three running backs on the main roster in Tyrone Tracy, Devin Singletary and rookie fourth-rounder Cam Skattebo. Miller will stick around in New York on the Giants' practice squad, and he would be a top candidate to be elevated to the active roster if Tracy, Singletary or Skattebo were unavailable to play.

Waived by G-Men The Giants waived Miller on Tuesday, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.
Impact Miller appeared in two regular-season games for the G-Men last season but didn't record a touch on offense. This preseason, however, Miller was one of the most productive running backs across the league, rushing 26 times for 80 yards while adding 14 catches for 135 yards on 14 targets. Miller will be a candidate to rejoin the Giants' practice squad if he clears waivers.

Makes final case for roster spot Miller rushed 11 times for 41 yards and caught all three of his targets for 12 yards in Thursday's 42-10 preseason win over New England.
Impact Miller was handed an opportunity to showcase his skills in New York's final exhibition contest, as he logged 48 percent of the team's offensive snaps and handled more carries than the Giants' other running backs combined. The results were mixed for Miller -- while he led New York with 41 rushing yards, he averaged just 3.7 yards per carry, and his longest run went for a modest eight yards. However, Miller's most impressive work during the preseason has been as a receiver out of the backfield, as he nabbed all 14 of this targets for 135 yards over the Giants' three games. Tyrone Tracy is locked in as New York's RB1, with Devin Singletary and Cam Skattebo slated to handle the bulk of the backup work. That leaves Miller battling with Eric Gray (undisclosed) for one of the team's final roster spots. Gray didn't play in any preseason contest, as he's been on the PUP list throughout training camp. Ryan Dunleavy of the New York Post projects Miller to make New York's initial 53-man roster with Gray potentially remaining on PUP when the regular season kicks off.

Shines in passing game Saturday Miller rushed five times for 17 yards in Saturday's 31-12 exhibition win over the Jets. He added four catches on four targets for 43 yards.
Impact Miller finished second on New York in rushing yards and third in receiving yards. He's found tough sledding on the ground through two preseason games, averaging a meager 2.6 yards on 10 carries, but has been quite impressive in the passing game, tallying 11 receptions on 11 targets for 123 yards. Tyrone Tracy, Devin Singletary and Cam Skattebo (hamstring) are likely locked in as New York's top three running backs, but Miller has a path to a roster spot as RB4, especially with Eric Gray (undisclosed) still on the PUP list and yet to participate in training camp.

Impact New York's running game was mostly stifled in the matchup, so though Miller logged only 22 yards on the ground, that was second-most on the team behind Jaxson Dart's 24 yards. Where Miller really shined, though, was in the passing game -- he led New York in both receptions and receiving yards while constantly picking up extra yards after catches. Miller also got the bulk of work out of the backfield for the team, logging 41 offensive snaps while No. 1 RB Tyrone Tracy got just five and backup Devin Singletary notched 12. It's worth noting that rookie Cam Skattebo (hamstring) didn't suit up, but he's almost certainly ahead of Miller on the depth chart as well. That said, Miller is a viable contender for No. 4 RB duties, especially with Eric Gray (undisclosed) still on the PUP list and far from a lock to make the final roster.

Inactive for regular-season finale Miller (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Eagles, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Impact Miller was elevated from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, but the undrafted free agent out of South Carolina will not play in Sunday's regular-season finale as the Giants roll with a three-man backfield of rookie Tyrone Tracy, Devin Singletary and Eric Gray. Miller was elevated to the 53-man roster for Week 5 and 6 and played eight snaps (one on offense, seven on special teams) across the two games, but otherwise did not show up on the box score.

Added to roster for Week 18 The Giants signed Miller from their practice squad to their active roster Saturday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Impact Miller has spent the majority of the season on New York's practice squad, though he did get two elevations during the campaign. In those games, he recorded a combined seven snaps on special teams and one snap on offense. Miller could get a bit more opportunity Sunday against Philadelphia with the Giants having nothing to play for except draft-pick slotting, but he's still expected to fourth on the running-back depth chart behind Tyrone Tracy, Devin Singletary and Eric Gray.

Impact The running back was elevated to the active roster for the second straight game due to Devin Singletary's groin injury. Miller, though, did not play an offensive snap in New York's 17-7 loss to Cincinnati. He did play on seven special-teams snaps and assist on a tackle on punt coverage.

Elevated to active roster again Miller was elevated to the Giants' active roster Saturday, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.
Impact Miller will be on the active roster for the second consecutive week, as Devin Singletary (groin) was ruled out again. Miller played only one offensive snap in Week 5 and will likely play a minimal role once again in Week 6.

Back to practice squad Miller reverted to the Giants' practice squad Monday.
Impact Miller was elevated to help the backfield depth with Devin Singletary (groin) inactive. However, the South Carolina product saw just one snap on offense and didn't the ball, while Tyrone Tracy and Eric Gray handled the rest of the work.

Elevated for backfield depth The Giants elevated Miller from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Impact Devin Singletary (groin) is doubtful to play Sunday against the Seahawks, so the Giants will bring up Miller to provide insurance in the backfield behind Tyrone Tracy and Eric Gray. Miller opted to stick around with Big Blue on the practice squad after failing to make the 53-man roster at the end of training camp.

Back with Giants Miller is expected to sign with the Giants' practice squad Wednesday, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Miller failed to make the Giants' 53-man roster, but he's now been brought back as a practice squad player. The South Carolina product impressed during the preseason, rushing for 63 yards on 12 carries in just one game before sustaining a hamstring injury.

Gets cut loose Miller (hamstring) was waived by the Giants on Tuesday, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Miller was dealing with a hamstring injury last week but it doesn't appear the team waived him with an injury designation, so it should be considered healthy. The South Carolina product was impressive when he was able to suit up in preseason and camp, making him a likely practice squad candidate for another team or the Giants themselves, if he clears waivers.

Limited in Tuesday's practice Miller (hamstring) was a limited participant at practice Tuesday, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.
Impact Miller rushed for 63 yards on 12 carries in the Giants' preseason opener against the Lions, but he was unable to suit up for Saturday's contest against the Texans due to a hamstring injury. He'll be slowly worked back into practice in the hopes he can suit up for Saturday's preseason finale against the Jets. Miller is competing for a depth spot at running back behind starter Devin Singletary.

Dealing with hamstring injury Miller (hamstring) was limited at practice Tuesday, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.
Impact Miller impressed during New York's preseason opener against the Lions, when he rushed 12 times for 63 yards and secured both of his targets for seven yards, but he's now dealing with a hamstring injury that could impact his status for Saturday's exhibition game against Houston. With Tyrone Tracy (ankle) having suffered a low-ankle sprain at practice Tuesday, Miller is facing an opportunity for increased reps if he can get healthy without missing much time.

Impressive in preseason opener Miller tallied 63 yards on 12 carries and caught both of his passing targets for seven yards in a preseason win against Detroit on Thursday.
Impact Miller led Giants running backs with 26 offensive snaps in the exhibition contest. That doesn't indicate his place on the depth chart -- in fact, it more likely suggests that he's near the bottom of the pecking order -- but the 25-year-old nonetheless took advantage of the opportunity, leading New York with 63 rushing yards on a healthy 5.3 YPC. Miller impressively ended the third quarter with a nine-yard rush after the Giants had been pinned back at their own four-yard line, and he added a 19-yard carry two plays into the fourth. While Devin Singletary is secure in his starting RB role and both Tyrone Tracy and Eric Gray looked good as the most likely No. 2 and No. 3 options Thursday, Miller could certainly carve out a role for New York this season and give himself a chance to rise up the depth chart with continued strong play.
