LAKE FOREST, Ill. -- Chicago Bears tight end Zach Miller made an emotional return to the team facility on Monday six weeks after undergoing emergency vascular surgery to save his left leg.
"[The threat of amputation] was very real," Miller said. "A couple wrong turns away from actually happening. I had a ton of care, a lot of people helping me out throughout that entire process. But we were a couple minutes away from having that be real. Thankfully, we were able to avoid it and we didn't really get into where I had stuff that was starting to die off or anything.
