Thumbs up: Bears’ Miller returns with eye on Week 1

Minutes after leaving the practice field with what looked like a potentially serious ankle injury on Aug. 10 at Olivet Nazarene, Bears wide receiver Anthony Miller assured fans via Twitter it was nothing to worry about.

‘I’m good,” Miller tweeted, adding a thumbs-up emoji.

As it turns out, he was right. Miller returned to practice on a limited basis Monday, and is confident he will be 100 percent healthy for the season opener against the Packers on Sept. 5 at Soldier Field.

“I knew I was all right when I got up [after suffering the injury] and started walking on it,” Miller said Monday after practice at Halas Hall, “because usually if you mess it up that bad, then you can’t put any pressure it, and I was able to walk off just fine by myself.
