BOURBONNAIS, Ill. – Zach Miller, coming into camp as the No. 1 tight end after a breakthrough year, suffered a concussion on Sunday and was in the team’s concussion protocol program on Monday. Miller has been plagued with injuries throughout his career and the passionate hope of player and team is that this latest is not a foreshadowing.
Miller’s absence creates an immediate opening at a position that already was one of need before this latest development. No Miller means more playing time for Tony Moeaki, Greg Scruggs and a depth chart in need of someone stepping out.
