Miller rushed for 56 yards and a touchdown on seven carries and did not gain yardage on two catches during Sunday's 20-3 win over the Jaguars.

EDGE Analysis

Miller extended Houston's lead to 13 shortly before halftime, taking the inside handoff and pounding through for a seven-yard score. It was the veteran back's second score in his last three games, but he's averaging just 2.9 yards per carry during that span. Whether this is a blip or a trend will bare monitoring heading into next week's playoff game against either Indianapolis or Tennessee. Miller almost certainly would prefer a rematch with the Titans, against whom he has averaged 8.8 yards per carry this season, as compared to the Colts -- against whom he has averaged just 2.9 yards per carry.

Coach Bill O'Brien said Miller (ankle) is "good to go" for Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Miller was already upgraded to full practice participation Thursday, but it's nonetheless good to see that carry over to Friday. The 27-year-old should be in line for a full workload against Jacksonville, which features the 18th-ranked rush defense in the NFL (115. 7 YPG) and allows 4.3 yards per carry.

Miller (ankle) practiced fully Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

After sitting out Week 16's loss to the Eagles, Miller was limited at practice Wednesday, but Thursday's upgrade to full participation aligns with the running back's assessment, via Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle, that his ankle feels "way better" at this stage. Miller is thus in line to return to action Sunday against the Jaguars, who have allowed an average of 115.7 rushing yards per game to date, a mark that ranks 18th overall in the NFL that category.

Miller (ankle) was officially limited at practice Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

That's a positive indicator with regard to his chances of suiting up in Week 17, with Drew Dougherty of the Texans' official site noting that "there's a decent chance" Miller will play Sunday against the Jaguars assuming things go okay for the running back at practice this week. That's a tad more optimistic than coach Bill O'Brien's take Monday in which he said that Miller "has a chance" to suit up this weekend. We'll revisit Miller's status Thursday to see if he maintains his current level of practice participation, which seems likely.

Miller (ankle) practiced Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

We suspect that Miller will be listed as a limited participant, but his ability to practice in any capacity is in line with previous reports that the running back has a chance to return to action Sunday against the Jaguars.

Coach Bill O'Brien said Miller (ankle) may return for a Week 17 matchup with the Jaguars, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports. "I think he's got a chance," O'Brien relayed Monday. " [He's] trending upwards."

EDGE Analysis

After injuring his right ankle Week 15, Miller maintained a limited listing on injury reports Wednesday through Friday. Despite entering the weekend as questionable, the Texans downgraded him to out Saturday. O'Brien's comments may have been nothing more than coach speak, but it's clear Miller was missed during Sunday's 32-30 loss in Philadelphia. Without his services, the Texans managed less than half of their weekly output on the ground -- just 62 yards -- with Deshaun Watson leading the team in each running statistic (8-49-2), while Alfred Blue and D'Onta Foreman combined for 11 carries, 13 yards and no scores.

Miller (ankle) has been downgraded to out for Sunday's contest against the Eagles.

EDGE Analysis

Head coach Bill O'Brien suggested Friday that Miller had a "chance" at playing Sunday, but that appeared more remote each passing day given the veteran running back was never able to log a full day of practice. Alfred Blue is expected to take over the starting role in Miller's absence, but there's a possibility D'Onta Foreman could see his first action this season after missing most of 2018 while recovering from surgery to his Achilles tendon.

Miller (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's 1:00 ET game against the Eagles after practicing in a limited fashion all week.

EDGE Analysis

Coach Bill O'Brien indicated Friday that Miller "has a chance" to play this weekend, noncommittal words that suggest that the running back's Week 16 status could go down to a game-time call. If Miller ends up limited or out Sunday, added work would be available for Alfred Blue, with recently re-activated D'Onta Foreman a candidate to see his first game action since last November.

Head coach Bill O'Brien said Friday morning that Miller (ankle) could play in Week 16, but added "the game is still 48 hours away though," Deepi Sidhu of the Texans' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

O'Brien's comments leave the door open for Miller to play Sunday against the Eagles, but they also don't provide any clues in regards to his chances of taking the field. Miller's official status for Week 16 will be revealed after Friday's practice concludes, but it's looking like a final call on his availability will not come until game day.

Miller (ankle) was limited at practice once again Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Per Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle, the running back's practice participation this week "points toward a good chance Miller is able to play this week, barring a setback." For his part, Miller is "taking it day-by-day" at this stage, but is relieved that he avoided a major injury in Week 15. We'll revisit his status Friday to see if Miller approaches Sunday's game against the Eagles with an injury designation or is fully cleared in advance of that contest.
