Let go by 49ers
The 49ers released Miller on Tuesday, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
Miller spent the offseason and a lot of training camp with the Steelers before getting waived in mid-August. He subsequently found his way to San Francisco after clearing waivers and was competing for a depth receiving role with the club. The 28-year-old was unable to do enough to climb up the ladder and is now set to look for a new opportunity if he does not get a practice squad offer.

Signs in San Francisco
The 49ers signed Miller to a contract Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Miller will get a chance to compete for an end-of-roster role in San Francisco, though Friday's exhibition matchup against the Chargers will be his last and only chance to log any preseason action. The 2018 second-round pick hasn't appear in a regular-season game since 2021, when he logged two appearances with the Texans and one with the Steelers.
Gets let go
Miller was released by the Steelers on Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Miller missed the 2022 campaign after landing on IR due to a shoulder injury during training camp. The 28-year-old hasn't played steady snaps since 2020 with the Bears when he made 49 catches on 76 targets for 485 yards and two touchdowns. He'll now work to find a new opportunity.
Returns to practice
Miller (shoulder) was spotted returning punts during Tuesday's practice, Noah Strackbein of SI.com reports.
Miller, who missed the entire 2022 season with a shoulder injury suffered in training camp, appears to be healthy again. During the upcoming campaign, Miller is slated to compete with a depth role at receiver, and his ability to contribute as a return man could be essential if he's to make the roster as a fifth or sixth option in the position group.
Remaining with the Steelers
The Steelers signed Miller (shoulder) to a one-year contract Tuesday, Teresa Varley of the team's official site reports.
Miller spent the entire 2022-23 campaign on Pittsburgh's injured reserve due to the shoulder injury he sustained during training camp. Once he's able to prove optimal health, the 28-year-old wide receiver will compete for a pass-catching role out of the slot next year alongside Diontae Johnson and George Pickens.
