Lamar Miller was carted off the field after suffering a leg injury on Saturday.
The Houston Texans running back took a carry and rushed to the right for an attempt just over a minute into the team’s game against the Dallas Cowboys. He took a hit immediately from Maliek Collins and went down. He also lost a fumble on the play.

Miller, who was making his first appearance of the preseason, was taken off the field on a cart.
The 28-year-old running back was signed by the Texans in 2016 and was entering the final year of a four-year, $26 million contract. He is coming off his first ever Pro Bowl season. Last year he rushed for 973 yards and five touchdowns for Houston.
Duke Johnson, who was recently acquired by Houston in a trade with Cleveland, is likely to see increased action if Miller misses time.
The Texans reportedly fear a torn ACL for Miller.
