Lions OC Makes Telling Statement on Rookie Blake Miller

Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Drew Petzing praised rookie right tackle Blake Miller on Thursday as the lineman prepares to return for Week 3 against the New York Jets. Petzing commended Miller's composure, technique, and communication along the offensive front alongside guard Tate Ratledge.

Miller played all 77 offensive snaps in Week 1 against the New Orleans Saints before missing Week 2 against the Buffalo Bills due to a knee injury. Although he was limited in practice on Wednesday, Miller is reportedly trending toward playing on Sunday to protect quarterback Jared Goff.
