Longtime Lions general manager Matt Millen, now a TV analyst again, will miss the rest of the 2018 college football season as he continues to battle a rare and life-threatening medical condition.
The Big Ten Network released a statement Wednesday.
“We will certainly miss seeing Matt this fall, but his health is the clear priority for everyone involved and we plan to support him in any way possible,” said Mark Hulsey, senior vice president of production and executive producer at BTN, said in the statement.
Millen, 60, has battled amyloidosis since 2011. It's a disease that can lead to life-threatening organ failure.
