This one feels unfair because wide receiver Braxton Miller was injured during the game Sunday. The problem is that the third-round pick was making so much headway during camp that his slow start to the season feels like a let down.

In all honesty, it’s probably the norm for a third round pick at wide receiver. Hey, Jaelen Strong couldn’t even get on the field until October for Houston last season.

So maybe Miller is a victim of his own success from camp, but one catch for three yards in the first game wasn’t what was expected. One catch for six in the second game was also unexpected.

Miller has sure hands and is incredibly athletic so he won’t be a long-term concern. It would just be nice to see him use that skill more often.
