Coach John Fox: Zach Miller had more procedures on damaged knee

LAKE FOREST, Ill. -- Chicago Bears tight end Zach Miller recently underwent additional surgeries on his damaged left knee, coach John Fox said Thursday.

Doctors at University Medical Center New Orleans performed successful emergency vascular surgery on Miller on Oct. 29 to repair a damaged artery in Miller's left leg that stemmed from a knee dislocation the tight end suffered in the Bears' loss to the Saints in Week 8.

Miller's medical team wanted to wait to repair any potential ligament damage in Miller's left knee until the leg was stabilized after the vascular procedure.
