On August 17, the New York Giants announced the waiver of running back Dante Miller due to a groin injury sustained during a game against the Minnesota Vikings. This move comes as part of a series of roster adjustments following cornerback Sam Webb's retirement. Miller, who gained fan popularity for his speed, had previously spent most of his time with the team on the practice squad after not making the final roster cuts.
