Veteran back Lamar Miller went down in the Houston Texans’ Saturday night preseason bout with the Dallas Cowboys after suffering a gruesome hit to his lower left leg early in the contest. Per NFL’s Ian Rapoport, Miller is believed to have suffered a torn ACL, ending his 2019 season before it ever started.
With Miller expected to spend the year on the Injured Reserve, the spotlight shifts to new Texans running back Duke Johnson Jr., who was acquired via trade from the Cleveland Browns earlier this month.
