Jaguars linebacker Ventrell Miller is unlikely to play in Jacksonville’s season finale against the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday as he continues to recover from an ankle injury, head coach Doug Pederson revealed on Friday.
Miller hurt his ankle in Jacksonville’s Week 16 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders and did not play in the Jaguars’ Week 17 victory against the Tennessee Titans.
“Ventrell Miller, ankle, probably not going to make the game,” Pederson said. “We’ll see today but I doubt he makes it.”
A fourth-round pick by the Jaguars in the 2023 NFL draft, Miller missed his rookie season with an Achilles injury and made his pro debut this year. He has appeared in 15 games, including nine starts, and recorded 80 total tackles including four for loss, one forced fumble and three defended passes.
Jaguars vs. Colts is scheduled to kick off at 1 p.m. ET on Sunday, at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Ind. The game will air on FOX.
