Posted on | by Field Level Media

The Miami Dolphins are signing rookie quarterback Cam Miller off the Las VegasRaiders’ practice squad to their active roster.

Miller’s representatives at JL Sports confirmed the transaction on Thursday.

Las Vegas selected Miller, 24, in the sixth round of the 2025 NFL Draft out of North Dakota State.

Miller did not see any action during the regular season for the Raiders.

He joins a Miami quarterback room that includes fellow rookie Quinn Ewers, Tua Tagovailoa and Zach Wilson.

Ewers is expected to start for the Dolphins (7-9) in Sunday’s season finale at New England (13-3).

Alabama RB Jam Miller (concussion) questionable vs. Tennessee

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Alabama running back Jam Miller is in concussion protocol and is questionable for Saturday night’s Southeastern Conference showdown between the No. 6 Crimson Tide and No. 11 Tennessee in Tuscaloosa.

Head coach Kalen DeBoer confirmed Wednesday that Miller sustained the injury late in last weekend’s 27-24 win at then-No. 14 Missouri.

Miller has rushed 58 times for 267 yards and one touchdown in three games this season. The senior was sidelined for Alabama’s first three games after breaking his collarbone during fall camp.

Over four seasons with the Crimson Tide, Miller has gained 1,638 yards from scrimmage with 13 touchdowns in 43 games.

If Miller can’t go, Kevin Riley (183 yards) and AK Dear (85 yards) likely will see more action when Alabama (5-1, 3-0 SEC) and Tennessee (5-1, 2-1) meet.

Alabama RB Jam Miller, DT Tim Keenan III to debut Saturday

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Reinforcements are ready to debut for Alabama on Saturday when the No. 17 Crimson Tide visit No. 5 Georgia.

Running back Jam Miller was cleared from a collarbone injury and could quickly return to being an everydown back for Alabama. Head coach Kalen DeBoer said Monday that Miller was able to complete a full practice Sunday.

Miller rushed for 668 yards and seven touchdowns last season.

“He’s someone that we trust at the highest level,” DeBoer said. “He’s just been super consistent as a pass protector, not just as a guy who can carry the football.”

Alabama will continue to work Kevin Riley into the mix at running back. Riley has 23 carries for 120 yards and 10 receptions for 77 yards this season.

Defensive tackle Tim Keenan III has been on the field the past few days with Alabama and has the green light to play at Georgia. The Bulldogs are averaging 209 rushing yards per game.

A team captain and proven force against the run, Keenan underwent tightrope surgery on his ankle and hasn’t played this season. The redshirt senior had 40 tackles, 7.5 for a loss, and 2.5 sacks in 2024.

“So excited, certainly, to have him back,” Alabama defensive coordinator Kane Wommack said. “Just the physicality that he brings, the experience, the block recognition, the ability to get off of blocks. And certainly what he does, not only in the run game, but I thought he has taken some in the pass rush as well from an interior pass rusher.”

The Crimson Tide (2-1) hit the road for the first time since a 31-17 loss at Florida State to begin the season Aug. 30.

Alabama star WR Ryan Williams (concussion) expected to play vs. Wisconsin

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Alabama star receiver Ryan Williams is expected to play Saturday against Wisconsin, Crimson Tide coach Kalen DeBoer said on Wednesday.

Williams missed last weekend’s 73-0 drubbing of UL Monroe due to a concussion sustained in Week 1 against Florida State. He was injured in the fourth quarter of a 31-17 loss.

“Ryan Williams, we expect him to play,” DeBoer said on the Southeastern Conference coaches teleconference.

Williams, a sophomore, had five receptions for just 30 yards with a long gain of 11 against the Seminoles.

Williams excelled last season by catching 48 passes for a team-high 865 yards and eight touchdowns. He also rushed for two scores and averaged 10.0 yards returning punts for the Crimson Tide.

No. 1 running back Jam Miller (collarbone) is expected to play for the first time this season. Defensive tackle Tim Keenan III (ankle) and linebacker Jah-Marien Latham (leg) are also questionable, according to the coach.

“Jah-Marien Latham and Jam Miller and TK are all gonna be game-time decisions,” DeBoer said. “They’re getting their work in, making some progress. And so not much difference between all three of them, even though they are different injuries.”

Tight end Danny Lewis (leg) will again sit out for No. 19 Alabama (1-1) against the Badgers (2-0). DeBoer said Lewis is making progress.

Von Miller to join Commanders on 1-year deal

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Von Miller is set to join the Washington Commanders on a one-year deal as part of a rebuilt defensive front.

A three-time All-Pro, Miller shared the news with a visual — wearing a No. 24 Commanders uniform — on social media, but the move was not official as of Thursday morning.

“DC… What’s good??,” Miller’s post to Instagram read.

ESPN reported the deal was almost finished and NFL Network cited sources calling the contract all but done.

Miller, 36, is the NFL’s active leader in sacks with 129.5, but injuries and age are undeniable factors.

Washington had 43 total sacks last season led by Donte Fowler (10.5) and linebacker Frankie Luvu (8.0).

Miller was released by the Buffalo Bills in March. He had 6.0 sacks last season and has won the Super Bowl twice, once with the team that drafted him — the Denver Broncos — and also with the Los Angeles Rams.

The Commanders acquired proven Pro Bowl talent in the offseason, trading for left tackle Laremy Tunsil and wide receiver Deebo Samuel, after reaching the NFC Championship game in head coach Dan Quinn’s first season in Washington.

Miller had 110.5 sacks in his first 10 seasons with the Broncos, who drafted him No. 2 overall out of Texas A&M in 2011. He was Defensive Rookie of the Year and later the Super Bowl 50 MVP when the Broncos defeated Cam Newton and the Carolina Panthers.

In three seasons with the Bills, Miller never played in more than 13 games. The Bills signed him to a six-year, $120 million deal in 2022.

Bills activate edge rusher Von Miller after 4-game suspension

Posted on | by Field Level Media

The Buffalo Bills activated eight-time Pro Bowl edge rusher Von Miller Saturday following a four-game suspension, making him available for the team’s Sunday home game against the Miami Dolphins.

Miller, 35, missed four games for violating the NFL’s personal conduct policy. Though the league did not reveal the nature of the suspension, Miller was arrested last November for a domestic violence charge. Miller turned himself in to police in suburban Dallas in response to an arrest warrant for an incident involving his pregnant girlfriend.

He was wanted for third-degree felony assault, but no charges were filed in the case and Miller has maintained his innocence. Officers responded to a “major disturbance call” at the couple’s home the morning of Nov. 29.

Miller was allowed to play while the investigation was conducted.

A seven-time All-Pro (including three first-team selections) and two-time Super Bowl champion, Miller collected three sacks in Buffalo’s first four games this season coming off the bench.

The Bills also announced the elevations of wide receiver Jalen Virgil and defensive tackle Eli Ankou from the practice squad.

Virgil, 26, has two career receptions in 10 games.

Ankou, 30, has appeared in 35 games over eight seasons, notching 2 1/2 sacks.

The Dolphins elevated defensive tackle Neil Farrell and long snapper Matt Overton.

Bills OLB Von Miller activated to make season debut vs. Jaguars

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Buffalo Bills outside linebacker Von Miller was activated off the physically unable to perform list on Saturday and is slated to make his season debut against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday in London.

Miller hasn’t played in more than 10 months since tearing the ACL in his right knee last Thanksgiving. The eight-time Pro Bowl selection was a limited participant in each of the team’s three practices this week.

Miller, 34, has recorded 123.5 sacks in 161 games (all starts) with the Denver Broncos (2011-19, 2021), Los Angeles Rams (2021) and Bills (2022).

Buffalo placed cornerback Tre’Davious White on injured reserve in a corresponding move. White tore his right Achilles in last Sunday’s victory over the Miami Dolphins.

White, 28, is a two-time Pro Bowl selection with 18 career interceptions. He had one pick and 12 tackles in four games this season.

Cornerback Ja’Marcus Ingram and defensive tackle Kendal Vickers were elevated from the practice squad to the roster for Sunday’s game.

Saints RB Kendre Miller likely to start in NFL debut at Lambeau

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Running back Jamaal Williams won’t be on the field for the Saints for his return to Green Bay this weekend.

Williams is dealing with a hamstring strain and head coach Dennis Allen said the injury could take “some time” to heal. Williams logged 18 snaps Monday at Carolina before leaving the game. He averaged 2.7 yards per carry in the first two games of the season with Miller (hamstring) inactive and starter Alvin Kamara serving a three-game suspension.

Miller would be making his NFL debut at Lambeau Field after gaining 49 yards on 22 carries in the preseason. He also caught seven passes for 47 yards.

The Saints are averaging 3.4 yards per carry as a team, with quarterback/tight end Taysom Hill leading the team with 79 yards on 12 carries.

Green Bay has allowed 333 rushing yards — and 4.5 yards per carry — in two games.

Miller, a rookie drafted in the third round out of TCU, was held out of Monday’s game due to limited practice reps. Allen said he’ll be “full go” at Green Bay.

The Packers drafted Williams in the fourth round in 2017. He spent four seasons with Green Bay before joining the Lions in 2021 and rushing for 1,667 yards and 20 touchdowns in 30 games.

Jaguars rookie LB Ventrell Miller (Achilles) out for season

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Jacksonville Jaguars rookie linebacker Ventrell Miller will miss the upcoming season with an Achilles injury.

Coach Doug Pederson confirmed Monday that the fourth-round pick was hurt in Saturday’s preseason finale against the Miami Dolphins.

Miller, 24, registered nine tackles and two sacks in three preseason games.

In four seasons with the Florida Gators (2018-21), Miller collected 7.5 sacks, 124 tackles and one interception.

Miller was listed on the Jaguars’ official depth chart behind Foyesade Oluokun and Shaquille Quarterman.

Saints rookie RB Kendre Miller (knee) to undergo MRI exam

Posted on | by Field Level Media

New Orleans Saints running back Kendre Miller will undergo an MRI exam after injuring his knee during Sunday’s 26-24 preseason victory over the visiting Kansas City Chiefs.

Miller injured the knee in the third quarter and didn’t return. Coach Dennis Allen said he believed Miller injured his right knee.

If so, that is the same knee Miller injured while playing for TCU in the College Football Playoff semifinals against Michigan on Dec. 31. The injury forced Miller to miss the ensuing national championship game against Georgia.

Miller was a third-round pick (71st overall) by the Saints in April’s draft.

If Miller is seriously injured, it will further deplete the Saints at running back. New Orleans will be without star running back Alvin Kamara for the first three weeks while he serves a suspension for violating the NFL’s personal conduct policy.

In addition, Eno Benjamin is out after rupturing his Achilles tendon in a recent practice.

New Orleans worked out Kareem Hunt last week but didn’t sign the former 1,000-yard rusher.

Offseason free-agent signee Jamaal Williams is slated to open the season as the starting running back. He had 28 yards on nine carries against the Chiefs.

Williams is coming off a career-best season for the Detroit Lions in which had rushed for 1,066 yards and an NFL-leading 17 rushing touchdowns. Only Austin Ekeler of the Los Angeles Chargers (18) scored more total touchdowns.

Undrafted free agent Ellis Merriweather gained 24 yards on nine rushes and also caught had two catches for 17 yards against the Chiefs. One of the receptions was a 2-yard touchdown.

Overall, New Orleans rushed for 93 yards on 28 rushes against Kansas City.
