“Last week, I was involved in a serious car accident in Missouri and was airlifted to Mercy Hospital,” Miller wrote on Twitter this morning. “I’m deeply grateful for the exceptional care I have received, from the first responders to the doctors, nurses and medical staff. I’m incredibly fortunate to be writing this. As a result of the accident, I sustained significant injuries, including multiple fractures and broken ribs. I also underwent a life-saving amputation of my left arm. While I have a long road ahead, I’m focused on my recovery and taking things one day at a time. Thank you for the overwhelming support, prayers and kind messages — they have meant so much to me and my family during this time. I look forward to continuing my recovery and getting back to ESPN to talk football, including what should be an exciting 2027 NFL Draft class.” KOAM News reports Miller was driving a 2023 Bronco last Wednesday when his car crossed the center line and collided with a semi-truck on Missouri Route 96. The other driver wasn’t injured. In a statement, ESPN said: “ESPN’s thoughts are with Matt Miller & his loved ones. We wish him strength in his recovery & look forward to seeing him back at ESPN when he’s ready.” According to Awful Announcing, Miller, who was hired by ESPN in 2021, “is a year-round draft analyst and has been widely viewed as the heir apparent to Mel Kiper, although he never views it that way.”
