LAKE FOREST, Ill. - Bears tight end Zach Miller recently cleared a major hurdle when he took his first steps since undergoing emergency vascular surgery to save his left leg on Oct. 29.
"That was big," Miller said on Thursday as the Chicago chapter of the PFWA honored him with the 2017 Good Guy award. "That didn't feel that good, but it did feel good. That's just something I'm working throughout the rehab and trying to get stronger."
Miller was rushed to University Medical Center New Orleans in Week 8 after he dislocated his left knee while making an over-the-shoulder catch in the end zone during Chicago's game against the Saints.
