LAKE FOREST, Ill. – Chicago Bears tight end Zach Miller still wants to play professional football, but any talk of a return is premature until Miller proves he can perform a task most people take for granted: run.
Exactly one year has passed since Miller suffered a horrific injury during a road game versus the New Orleans Saints that nearly cost him his left leg.
Miller’s rehabilitation from the dislocated knee he sustained in Week 8 of last year has been grueling. The veteran underwent nine different surgical procedures to save and then stabilize his leg.
