It was a gruesome injury.
When Zach Miller was rushed to the hospital in October of 2017, doctors weren’t certain they would be able to save his leg.
Miller made a circus catch in the end zone during a Chicago Bears- New Orleans Saints game and twisted as he came down and Miller’s knee did things that knees should not do.
Training staff on the field recognized that Miller’s knee damage included arterial damage and that he was bleeding internally. He needed to be rushed to the hospital for emergency surgery with no guarantees that his leg would be saved.
