The Houston Texans will be without running back Lamar Miller (ankle) for Sunday's game against the Philadelphia Eagles.
Texans head coach Bill O'Brien told reporters Friday that Miller had a chance to play and he was officially listed as questionable.
On Saturday, the team announced that Miller will not travel with the team and was downgraded to out vs. Philadelphia.
Miller was limited in practice the past two days after suffering an ankle injury on the opening possession of Week 15's matchup against the New York Jets. While Miller briefly returned, he then sat out the rest of the Texans' 29-22 win.
On the season, Miller has totaled 917 yards rushing and four touchdowns on 193 carries as the featured running back in Houston's offense. Next in line on the Texans' roster are running backs Alfred Blue, D'Onta Foreman and Buddy Howell.
Wideout Keke Coutee (hamstring) was also downgraded to out.
Wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins (ankle), cornerback Johnathan Joseph (hip/illness) and guard Senio Kelemete (elbow/rib/illness) are questionable to play.
