On the first drive of the game for the Houston Texans, starting running back Lamar Miller went down after taking a hit to his lower body.
Miller stayed on the ground, where he was attended to by trainers, who were looking at his left knee. Not long afterward, a cart came out to take him into the locker room.
The way Miller went down and immediately clutched at his knee is not an encouraging sign. Hopefully it’s just a sprain and not something more significant.
If Miller does miss significant time with a serious injury, then recently acquired Duke Johnson’s addition becomes that much more meaningful to the Texans.
