Running back Lamar Miller has had his 2019 season ended prematurely.

On Sunday ESPN announced that the 28-year-old had suffered a torn ACL and would be out for the season.

Miller was carted off the field during the first quarter of the Texans matchup versus the Cowboys on Saturday night. The team feared the worst which was confirmed on Sunday morning.

Miller has been Texans leading rusher since 2016. His loss puts immense pressure on recently acquired running back Duke Johnson and veteran running back Taiwan Jones. With roster cutdowns just one week away Texans also have the option of acquiring a veteran rusher off waivers.
