Last season, Miller was suspended for the first games of the season for violating the NFL's personal conduct policy. In 13 appearances, he totaled 17 tackles, seven tackles for loss, and six sacks.

To get Miller on the roster, though, the Commanders had to clear a spot. To do so, they released a running back, Michael Wiley. Wiley, 24, went undrafted out of Arizona in 2024.
