Chicago Bears tight end Zach Miller is done playing football, he announced on Instagram on Tuesday.
Miller has spent the last 17 months rehabbing after suffering a serious leg injury in an October 2017 game against the Saints. He suffered a dislocated knee and torn popliteal artery while catching a 25-yard touchdown pass that was later overturned to an incomplete pass. Doctors had to perform an emergency vascular surgery in order to save his left leg.
In the Instagram caption, Miller wrote, "The time has come to move on from playing the game of football.
