Miller hauled in all 10 passes that came his way for 66 yards and added a two-yard run in Sunday's win over the Bengals.

EDGE Analysis

Sunday was Miller's second 10-catch game in a five-week span and the third time this season he has collected eight or more catches. Of course, Miller has also been held to three or fewer receptions seven of his 12 games this season and ranks fourth on the team in catches. Six of those games took place during the first seven games of the year, so Miller is certainly on the upswing, but it's hard to justify starting a tight end that hasn't reeled in a touchdown since Week 2.

Miller (ribs) is active Sunday against the Bengals.

EDGE Analysis

Miller did not play last week due to the injury, but he'll slot back in Sunday against Cincinnati, who he had 10 catches for 105 yards against back in Week 8.

Miller (ribs) is listed as probable for Sunday's road game against the Bengals.

EDGE Analysis

Miller, who missed last Sunday's win over the Colts, didn't practice Wednesday, was limited on Thursday and then was a full participant Friday. The veteran tight end is thus poised to re-enter the Steelers' lineup in Week 14, and it's worth noting that the last time he faced the Bengals (on on Nov. 1 at Heinz Field), Miller caught a season-high 10 passes for a season-best 105 yards.

Miller (ribs) returned to a limited practice Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Miller's return to practice Thursday, albeit in a limited capacity, suggests that he has a chance to return to action Sunday against the Bengals, with the release of Friday's injury report hopefully adding clarity with regard to the tight end's Week 14 status.

Miller (ribs) did not practice Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Coach Mike Tomlin previously indicated that Miller "has a chance this week," but Wednesday's missed practice underscores that the tight end's availability for Sunday's game against the Bengals is far from a lock. Next up for the team's tight end targets in the event that Miller is unable to return to the lineup this weekend is Jesse James.

Head coach Mike Tomlin said Tuesday that Miller (ribs) "has a chance to play this week."

EDGE Analysis

Miller remained sidelined in Sunday's victory over the Colts, but he showed progress last week, returning to the practice field for a limited session Friday after sitting out the previous two days. If he is able to increase his practice participation this week -- either the number of days or his activity level -- he will have a good chance to take the field in Week 14.

Miller (ribs) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Colts.

EDGE Analysis

Miller missed practice Wednesday and Thursday, then returned as a limited participant Friday. He could be back for Week 14 against the Bengals, but either Jesse James or Matt Spaeth will have to start Sunday's game. James is more likely to make an impact in the passing game, as Spaeth is a blocking specialist with just 55 catches in 118 career appearances.

Miller (rib) is listed as questionable for Sunday night's game against the Colts.

EDGE Analysis

Per Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Miller looks like a game-time decision for the contest, though he suggests that the veteran tight end is "not likely" to suit up. Complicating matters for fantasy owners is the Steelers' 8:30 ET kickoff Sunday night, but if Miller ends up scratched this weekend, look for rookie Jesse James to see an expanded workload in the Steelers' Week 13 offense, while working along with fellow TE Matt Spaeth. Of the two, James would be the preferred fantasy dart, with his 6-foot-7 frame giving him a degree of red zone upside.

Miller (ribs) did not practice Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

If Miller ends up out or limited Sunday night against the Colts, look for 6-foot-7 rookie Jesse James to see an expanded workload in the Steelers' Week 13 offense, while working along with fellow TE Matt Spaeth (knee), health permitting.

Miller (ribs) did not practice Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

We'll continue to to track Miller's status as the week rolls along, but if he ends up being considered a game-time decision this week, the Steelers' 8:30 ET kickoff Sunday could be problematic for the tight end's fantasy owners.
