After a scary leg injury last year, Bears tight end Zach Miller says that he hopes to continue playing. At the same time, he acknowledges that he may be facing an uphill battle. 
“[If it doesn’t happen], then that’s just the way it goes and we’ve got to move on and do something else,” Miller told Scott Voorhees of 1110 KFAB (audio link). “Physically I’ve been through a number of surgeries or whatever it may be. I can recover from that. But the mental aspect is something you’ve got to learn how to work it, how to block out some stuff and really just stay positive, which I’ve done a pretty good job doing.”
After severely dislocating his left knee and tearing his popliteal artery, doctors told Miller that he was at risk for losing his leg. Thankfully, after nine surgeries, Miller’s knee is safe. Of course, playing football represents a much steeper challenge.
Miller has done his best work over the past three years with the Bears. In 2016, Miller caught a career-high 47 passes and 486 yards with four touchdowns. In 2017, he was on pace for similar numbers with 20 catches for 236 yards and two TDs through the end of October.
The play he broke his leg on was a touchdown, if it wasnt then what is?
They ruled it incomplete, but it should have been a touchdown.
Agreed. The refs blew another call. It should have been a touchdown. Just another stab to the heart on that one play, his injury, then taking away the score.
This guy is a warrior. No way I’d even consider coming back after an injury like that.
Wow, crazy to think, never thought I’d see him playing again. Good luck to a great guy.
