According to reports, Miller stepped wrong on the play, which was the final one of practice. The Broncos didn't immediately make a comment regarding Miller.

The 31-year-old Miller has a base salary of $17.5 million this season, the fifth of a six-year, $114 million deal he signed in July of 2016. The eight-time Pro Bowler has a franchise-record 106 sacks for the Broncos in nine seasons since being the No. 2 overall choice of the 2011 NFL Draft. Miller also has 490 tackles, 26 forced fumbles, nine fumble recoveries and two interceptions.

Miller has two career touchdowns -- one on an interception and one on a fumble. Last season, Miller had eight sacks. That total was the second lowest of his career. His high was 18.5 in 2012.

Miller was a star at Texas A&M before joining Denver. The Broncos open the season on Monday night against the visiting Tennessee Titans.
