Lamar Miller Injury: Texans RB Active vs. Raiders

Houston Texans running back Lamar Miller did not suit up for the final two weeks of the regular season.

However, he has been cleared to return and is not among the inactives for Saturday's playoff matchup against the Oakland Raiders, per the Texans. The Texans announced he was a full participant in Friday's practice. 

"It'll be good to have him back," head coach Bill O'Brien said on Jan. 2, per the team. "He's been a very productive player for us this year."

Miller played for the Miami Dolphins from 2012 to 2015 and was a force in each of the past two seasons, posting 1,099 rushing yards, 275 receiving yards and nine total touchdowns in 2014, and 872 rushing yards, 397 receiving yards and 10 total touchdowns in 2015.

Miller has followed that up with 1,073 yards and five touchdowns on the ground, along with 188 yards and a touchdown through the air, in his first season with Houston.

Miller is one of Houston's most explosive playmakers. The Texans will need their starter to stay healthy if they want to make a run for the Super Bowl.
