Bears TE Zach Miller Says Leg Amputation Was A Real Possibility
Chicago bears tight end Zach Miller opened up about his recent vascular surgery to save his left leg and says that the possibility of having it amputated was 'very real', according to ESPN's Jeff Dickerson.
"A couple wrong turns away from actually happening," Miller said. "I had a ton of care, a lot of people helping me out through 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. We were able to save pretty much everything. So I'm very thankful that happened."
