Miami Dolphins running back Lamar Miller is "fine" and did not suffer a setback to his shoulder injury against the Detroit Lions on Sunday, according to Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald. Miller sustained the shoulder injury against the San Diego Chargers in Week 9 and was a limited participant in practice leading up to Sunday's game against Detroit.
Lamar Miller ‘fine,’ didn’t suffer injury setback on Sunday; fantasy value still questionable
Lamar Miller didn’t suffer an injury setback on Sunday, according to a report. We break down the fantasy implications.

Miller, the Dolphins' leading rusher with 110 carries for 528 yards and five touchdowns, wound up getting just four carries on the day. He went just 10 yards on those four carries, and caught one pass for a loss of yards. Both Daniel Thomas and Damien Williams had more carries than Miller, though neither performed especially well. It was a tough day of running for everyone involved.
Fantasy Impact: There was some concern that Miller re-injured his shoulder, but this report indicated otherwise. It's possible that the Dolphins always planned to give Miller a very limited role to give the injury more time to heal as he's certainly not up to 100 percent. Whatever the case, fantasy owners should watch the early practice reports given that Miami has a short week coming up with a Thursday game against the Buffalo Bills.
