Strong defensively in rare start
Miller registered one tackle (one won), six clearances and three interceptions in Saturday's 2-0 win over Houston Dynamo.
Analysis: Miller got the nod at center back for his seventh start after Moises Mosquera was ruled out, and Sporting kept Houston off the scoresheet. He tends to feature when the fixtures pile up, so this was a chance to show what he can do on a normal week, and he answered with three interceptions, six clearances, one tackle won and one block.
Starts to face St. Louis
Miller (hamstring) is in the starting XI for Thursday's match against St. Louis.
Analysis: Miller was heading into Thursday with some uncertainty, but he is deemed fit again, making his way back into the starting XI. This ends a five-match absence for the defender, hoping to remain fit moving forward. He has started in five of his nine appearances now, serving in more of a rotational role.
Questionable with hamstring injury
Miller is a doubt for Saturday's clash with Portland Timbers due to a hamstring blow, per the MLS player availability report.
Analysis: Miller is a defender who has been part of SKC's rotation, and his hamstring concern adds another uncertain item to a club that is already without Diego Borges (groin) and Kwaku Agyabeng (groin) for the match. His availability or absence will further define how stretched Sporting KC's lineup looks heading into week 12. He may need to be assessed before the match to determine his final status.
