Running back Dante “Turbo” Miller a preseason star for the New York Giants, has been cut according to a variety of published reports.
Miller carried the ball 26 times for 80 yards (3.1 yards per carry) during the preseason. He led the team with 14 receptions for 135 yards, 9.6 yards per catch. He also averaged 21.0 yards on two kickoff returns.
Miller, signed as a rookie free agent by the Giants in 2024, spent last season on the team’s practice squad. If he is not claimed on waivers by another team, he could be headed back there this season.
Earlier in the preseason, Miller seemed like a lock to make the 53-man roster. The return to health of rookie running back Cam Skattebo, and a Miller mistake on special teams vs. the New England Patriots — causing a turnover when he got hit by a punt while blocking for Ihmir Smith-Marsette — may have sealed his fate.
How surprised are you by this cut, Giants fans?
