Miller, a father of two, shared the news on his X account @nfldraftscout Tuesday morning.<\/p>\n

\u201cLast week, I was involved in a serious car accident in Missouri and was airlifted to Mercy Hospital. I\u2019m deeply grateful for the exceptional care I have received, from the first responders to the doctors, nurses and medical staff. I\u2019m incredibly fortunate to be writing this,\u201d Miller tweeted.<\/p>\n

Miller went on to disclose the extent of his injuries.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs 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\u2019m focused on my recovery and taking things one day at a time.\u201d<\/p>\n

Miller shared his gratitude for those who have reached out as well as his plans going forward.<\/p>\n

\u201cThank you for the overwhelming support, prayers and kind messages \u2013 they have meant so much to me and my family during this time,\u201d Miller said. <\/p>\n

\u201cI look forward to continuing my recovery and getting back to ESPN to talk football, including what should be an exciting 2027 NFL Draft class.\u201d<\/p>\n

KOAM News first reported on the car accident last week, which occurred Wednesday afternoon in Jasper County. <\/p>\n

A 2023 Bronco, which Miller was driving, crossed the center line on Route 96 and collided with a semi-truck. The driver of the semi was not injured. Friends of Miller told KOAM he \u201chas a long road to recovery.\u201d<\/p>\n

Miller has been a part of ESPN for five years, currently working as a year-round draft analyst. Previously, he was the lead NFL Draft writer at Bleacher Report for over a decade.<\/p>\n
