In 2017, Miller started the first four games at right guard before losing the starting job to veteran Vladimir Ducasse.

In 2018, Miller started 15 games at right guard, missing one with an ankle injury.

Cincinnati Bengals

On March 16, 2019, Miller signed a three-year, $16.5 million contract with the Cincinnati Bengals.[6] He started 13 games at right guard in 2019.

On March 18, 2020, Miller was released by the Bengals.[7]
