ALLEN PARK, Mich. -- Former Detroit Lions general manager Matt Millen is stepping away from his Big Ten Network broadcasting duties for the rest of the season to concentrate on his treatment for amyloidosis.
Millen had been working for the network as a color analyst for the first five games of this season. He had also done preseason radio work with the Oakland Raiders.
"We will certainly miss seeing Matt this fall, but his health is the clear priority for everyone involved," Big Ten Network senior vice president Mark Hulsey said in a statement Wednesday.
