Lions Host WR Scotty Miller as Bears Plan Tryout Next Week

The evaluations reflect standard post-draft roster building.

Overview

  • Scotty Miller visited the Lions on Tuesday, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, and he is scheduled to try out for the Bears next week with no signing announced.
  • Miller, a 2019 sixth-round pick by Tampa Bay, had his best year in 2020 with 33 catches for 501 yards and three touchdowns on the Buccaneers’ Super Bowl team.
  • Over the last two seasons with the Steelers, he logged 14 receptions for 131 yards in 26 games, showing he has recently filled a depth role.
  • Chicago is seeking depth behind Rome Odunze and Luther Burden III despite adding Kalif Raymond and drafting Zavion Thomas, whereas Detroit’s receiver group is more settled with Amon-Ra St. Brown, Jameson Williams and Isaac TeSlaa.
  • If signed, Miller would likely compete for a low-cost spot built on vertical speed and possible special-teams work, with the Chicago workout presumed to align with rookie minicamp next week.
