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.
