The New England Patriots must feel good about Sony Michel’s foot injury. The team made a surprising move Saturday, releasing veteran running back Lamar Miller, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.
Miller, 29, signed with the team in August while Michel was sidelined with a foot injury. Michel was able to return from his injury a few weeks later, and has looked good during practices, prompting the Patriots to part ways with Miller.
With the release, Miller now joins a fairly crowded free-agent market for running backs.
