Playing against the Saints last Oct. 29 in New Orleans, Miller suffered a dislocated knee and torn popliteal artery while catching an apparent 25-yard touchdown pass that was later reversed to an incomplete pass following a replay review.
The veteran tight end was rushed to the University Medical Center in New Orleans, where he underwent emergency vascular surgery. Bears doctors and trainers helped save his leg by quickly diagnosing a vascular issue that required immediate attention.
Miller, who continues to rehab at Halas Hall, had a breakout year with the Bears in 2015 after missing the three previous seasons due primarily to injuries.
