While he doesn't have a streak to match that of Philadelphia Eagles right tackle Jon Runyan, who has made 171 consecutive starts despite playing at times this season with a broken tailbone, Fred Miller offers similar durability.
So you know that his right ankle must be sprained pretty good for Miller to have missed practice Friday and be listed as questionable for the game Sunday against the New York Giants. John St. Clair is expected to take his place and line up across from former defensive player of the year Michael Strahan.
''The guy on the other side [right end Osi Umenyiora] is a great player, also,'' St. Clair said of the matchup the offensive line faces. ''We have our work cut out for us. I'm excited. Looking forward to the challenge.''
Miller has missed just one game since 1999 and two since '98. He could return Thursday at Washington.

St. Clair likely in for Miller
