Miller was signed to the Falcons' practice squad Tuesday, Matt Zenitz of CBSSports.com reports.
Miller worked out with Atlanta on Sept. 29, and he will now join the team's practice unit. The Patriots drafted the running back in the seventh round of the 2026 NFL Draft, but he waived by the team after reaching an injury settlement following an undisclosed injury in late August. Miller spent his entire four-year collegiate career at Alabama, and he'll look to earn an elevation to the active roster down the road this season.

Jam Miller: Works out with Falcons
Rotowire
Atlanta worked out Miller (undisclosed) on Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Miller was waived by the Patriots with an injury settlement prior to the start of the regular season, but it looks like he's at least back in football shape now. The Falcons only have two healthy running backs on their active roster currently, so it makes some sense they would be pursuing some depth at that position.

Jam Miller: Waived with injury settlement

The rookie seventh-rounder had a strong performance in the Patriots' preseason opener, rushing 14 times for 55 yards. Miller has already cleared waivers and is now a free agent. Once the running back regains his health, he will be free to sign with any franchise's 53-man roster or practice squad.

Patriots' Jam Miller: Leading rusher against Indy
Rotowire
Miller carried the ball 14 times for 55 yards and failed to catch his only target in Thursday's 13-13 preseason tie with the Colts.
Rhamondre Stevenson and TreVeyon Henderson both sat out the Patriots' preseason opener, allowing Miller to get the start and handle the bulk of the work on the ground -- the rest of the RBs in the lineup combined for 27 yards on 17 carries. The 2026 seventh-round is battling Lan Larison, Hassan Haskins and JaMycal Hasty for the RB3 role to open the season, and Miller may have improved his chances of claiming it with Thursday's effort.

Patriots' Jam Miller: Logging kickoff-return reps
Rotowire
Miller has been taking kickoff-return reps during training camp, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.
As camp progresses, Miller, who the Patriots took in the seventh round of the 2026 NFL Draft, continues to compete for slotting in the team's backfield behind Rhamondre Stevenson and TreVeyon Henderson. While Lazar notes that Lan Larison has been getting the first crack at reps behind the top duo thus far, Miller could still push for the No. 3 RB role down the road, with his ability in the return game boosting his chances of securing a roster spot ahead of Week 1. Also in the mix for depth roles in New England's backfield are are Terrell Jennings and Myles Montgomery.

Patriots' Jam Miller: Competing for backup role
Rotowire
Miller is in line to compete for depth slotting in the Patriots backfield behind Rhamondre Stevenson and TreVeyon Henderson, Evan Lazar of the team's official site reports.
While there is clarity at the top of the team's RB depth chart, the pecking order behind the top duo has yet to be established. Also in the mix for complementary backfield work are Terrell Jennings, Lan Larison and Myles Montgomery. Miller, who was taken by New England in the seventh round of the 2026 NFL Draft, was a core special-teamer early on in his college career at Alabama, which could help his chances of securing a role as a rookie. Per Lazar, the No. 3 job behind Stevenson and Henderson figures to go to "whoever offers the most juice as a returner and can fill in when needed in the offensive backfield."

Patriots' Jam Miller: Headed to New England
Rotowire
The Patriots selected Miller in the seventh round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 245th overall.
Miller spent his entire four-year college career at Alabama, taking over a regular role on offense in 2024, resulting in 15 starts over the last two seasons. He possesses the size to handle the rigors of an NFL campaign at 5-foot-10, 209 pounds and does a good job with ball security (two fumbles in his college career) and falling forward on runs. On top of that, he put up an impressive 4.42 40-time at the NFL Combine. That said, he doesn't typically play as fast as his time and can struggle in pass blocking, hence his seventh-round selection. Miller will be tasked with etching out a role somewhere on the depth chart behind the two players locked in atop the running back room in Rhamondre Stevenson and TreVeyon Henderson.
