Matt Miller on leave from ESPN after successful surgery to remove left arm

Matt Miller is taking a leave from his job as an NFL draft analyst for ESPN after a successful surgery to remove his left arm, according to a statement posted on his X account Friday.

A quick update: The surgery to remove my left arm was successful with hopes of an eventual prosthetic replacement. 

Similarly, the femur and patella surgeries were also successful and the fantastic surgery team was able to save my left leg. 

 To best focus on my healing and recovery, I’m stepping away indefinitely and will be placed on leave from ESPN. Thank you to all for the prayers and thoughts; please keep them coming.

Miller, 42, Webb City, was injured in a June 17 crash on MO 96 a mile and a half west of Oronogo that occurred when the 2023 Ford Bronco Miller was driving crossed the center line and was struck by a 2024 International driven by a 28-year-old Springfield man.

The Missouri Attorney General's office confirmed last week that it is investigating Miller's involvement with numerous charities and fantasy football leagues.
