Giants' RB Dante Miller may miss time with injury against Vikings
Summary

New York Giants running back Dante Miller could be sidelined due to an injury sustained during Saturday's game against the Minnesota Vikings. Head coach John Harbaugh indicated there might be a soft tissue or groin issue, while Miller himself suggested it could be a lower abdominal problem. After covering a punt in the second half, Miller returned but appeared uncomfortable afterward. Spending the previous two seasons on the practice squad, Miller's chances of making the 53-man roster could be jeopardized by this injury, especially with other running backs seemingly ahead in the pecking order. Miller rushed five times for 14 yards in the game.
