The first-round pick noticed the knee became bothersome after Sunday's game. He arrived early Monday and was feeling better.

“I'm doing everything everything I humanly can to get my body the best it can feel.”

Short week complicates recovery

Detroit will re-evaluate Miller over the next couple days to determine his availability for Thursday's game.

“It's a short week, and it's really about how fast can we, some of this is the recovery. What does he look like tomorrow?”

Borom ready to step in

Larry Borom would likely start at right tackle if Miller can't go. The veteran battled Miller throughout training camp.
