Unfortunately his shoulder seems to have been dislocated again, but this time it is the other side by video. The new Houston Texas wide receiver while fending off a tackler dislocated his right shoulder anteriorly and inferiorly and was carted off the field. He has a history of shoulder issues in the past. In 2014 as a rookie with the Chicago Bears, he dislocated his left shoulder and finished the season with a harness and then had surgery. The next year in 2019, he re-dislocated the same left shoulder at the end of the season, and had surgery again. All these injuries have contributed to derail this one's promising rookie draft pick. The question is whether he can try and use a brace and finish the season like he did in his rookie campaign on his left side, or whether he will need surgery. Either way, this is a significant hurdle for his ongoing career given his new team. In order to play through, he will need to wear a brace which would limit his catch radius, he was able to do so his rookie year but suffered several repeat episodes where he missed time. Miller was set to be WR3 or even WR2 in this offense, but this setback will limit his ceiling this year regardless of how it plays out.
