JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Oft-injured tight end Zach Miller is done for the season.
The Jacksonville Jaguars placed Miller on injured reserve Tuesday because of a nagging shoulder injury. The third-year player from Nebraska-Omaha, a sixth-round pick in 2009, has missed several games in his career because of knee and foot injuries. He also missed a game because of a concussion. His injuries have the Jaguars unsure about his future with the franchise.
The Jaguars promoted rookie cornerback T.J. Heath from the practice squad to take Miller’s spot on the 53-man roster. They also signed cornerback Walter McFadden to the practice squad.
Miller has 45 receptions for 470 yards and four touchdowns, but injuries have prevented him from taking the next step in his development.
Jacksonville hosts Baltimore Monday night.
