Key Matchups: Kolton Miller's return, Klint Kubiak's HC debut take centerstage against Dolphins

#### **Kolton Miller vs. Dolphins defensive line**

[Kolton Miller](/team/players-roster/kolton-miller/)'s absence was felt last season after suffering a season-ending ankle injury in Week 4.

The Raiders went on to allow the most sacks to opposing defenses and finished with the fewest rushing yards in the league.

Miller has worked hard to return to the field and reclaim the blind side.

"I'm very excited," he said. "The new group, I feel like we've been putting in a lot of work in these these past few months. I'm really excited to see it come together and I think we're all shooting towards the same goal, which is to win."

Miller and the Raiders offensive line could have their hands full with a young Dolphins defense. While a largely unproven unit, there's talent in the front seven with Chop Robinson, who's racked up 10 sacks in his first two seasons. Playing inside of Robinson, Zach Sieler poses a problem as one of the more underrated defensive tackles in the league. He's totaled 25.5 sacks and 61 quarterback pressures over his last three seasons with the Dolphins.

"I think they're a great group," Miller said of Miami's D-line. "It's a true test for us as a group to come together. I know they've been through a lot, they can throw a lot at us. But to see how we perform, I'm really looking forward to it."
