Texans' Lamar Miller: Escapes injury Saturday

Miller avoided a potential injury Saturday when he emerged fine after tweaking his ankle, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Analysis:

Miller was checked out by team trainers, was re-taped and finished practice without incident. "Yeah, it's good," Miller said afterward. "It's fine." Miller is a complete back, having improved his pass-catching over his four years in the NFL. Where last season's running back position was a committee, we see less of that in 2016 with a healthy Miller being an all-down back. He'll get an occasional series off and may be switched out when the Texans want a bigger back on the field, but he'll be the bell cow back for Houston.
