The ABC broadcast reported Miller left the field favoring his right leg. He was on the sideline using crutches before heading back to the locker room. Play-by-play announcer Chris Fowler confirmed his exit as Alabama shifted to backup Daniel Hill.
A major blow for the Tide in the rivalry game. Miller led Alabama’s ground attack at the time of the injury, posting 15 carries for 83 yards without a score.
Alabama took a 27-20 lead on a fourth down conversion for a touchdown from Ty Simpson. The Tide’s backfield was thinned out during a critical stretch, forcing increased reliance on Simpson in a game defined by playoff implications.
Miller’s status moving forward was not immediately announced.
