Miller (ankle) has been an active participant at offseason practices and stood out at OTAs, Brian Sexton of the Jaguars' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Miller missed the final two games of 2024 due to an ankle injury, but he already appears back to full health. Across 15 regular-season appearances in 2024, Miller racked up 80 tackles (53 solo), three pass breakups and one fumble, though his role declined notably after Jacksonville's bye in Week 12. He now faces competition from rookie fourth-round pick Jack Kiser for reps alongside standout linebackers Foyesade Oluokun and Devin Lloyd.

Miller (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's AFC South clash against the Colts.
EDGE Analysis
Miller was limited in practice all week due to an ankle injury that prevented him from playing against the Titans in Week 17. Despite his ability to practice, the 2023 fourth-round pick hasn't progressed enough in his recovery to play in Sunday's regular-season finale. Miller will finish the 2024 regular season with 80 tackles (53 solo), three pass defenses and one forced fumble across 15 games. Chad Muma and Yasir Abdullah are the top candidates to start at outside linebacker alongside Foyesade Oluokun due to Miller's absence.

Miller (ankle) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Raiders, John Oehser of the Jaguars' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Miller suffered an ankle injury in the second quarter, and it appears serious enough for him to be sidelined for the rest of Sunday's game. Yasir Abdullah and Chad Muma should see more playing time at outside linebacker due to Miller's injury.

Miller recorded seven total tackles (four solo) in Sunday's 52-6 loss to the Lions.
EDGE Analysis
The second-year linebacker from Florida was the Jaguars' third-leading tackler in Sunday's blowout loss, despite playing just 48 percent of the team's defensive snaps. Miller appears to be firmly behind both Foyesade Oluokun and Devin Lloyd in the Jaguars' linebacker corps; however, he's still expected to make plays when given the opportunity as the season progresses.

Miller recorded eight tackles (four solo) in Sunday's 28-23 loss to the Eagles.
EDGE Analysis
The linebacker also played on more than 50 percent of the defensive snaps even with Foyesade Oluokun and Devin Lloyd both healthy and available. Miller has now played on more than half of the defensive snaps in six straight games. He has 62 tackles (42 solo), a pass breakup and a forced fumble on the year.

Miller recorded seven tackles (five solo) in Sunday's 30-27 loss versus the Packers.
EDGE Analysis
In spite of the return of Foyesade Oluokun from a four-game absence in Week 8, Miller was still on the field for a healthy 41 snaps Sunday. He actually got more snaps than Devin Lloyd (37), which is the first time that's happened this season in a game both players were active for. The Jaguars will travel to face a run-heavy Philadelphia team in Week 9.

Miller recorded 10 tackles (six solo) during Sunday's 32-16 win against the Patriots.
EDGE Analysis
Miller's tackle total was in the double-digits for the third time in his last four games in Week 7. He's still second fiddle to Devin Lloyd in terms of snaps at linebacker, but Miller's recent production has put him on the IDP map even while Lloyd is healthy.
