Texans Coach Bill O’Brien told reporters Friday that running back Lamar Miller will be a gametime decision for Sunday’s game vs. the Lions.
Miller had a shoulder issue in last Monday night’s loss at Denver. He was a limited participant in practice Thursday and Friday.
Alfred Blue has been the Texans’ No. 2 running back. Blue has 30 carries on the season; Miller has 136. With 581 yards, Miller comes into the weekend as the NFL’s fifth-leading rusher.
Miller was injured in the first quarter in Denver. Though he returned to the game, he and Blue split carries the rest of the way.
