ESPN NFL Draft analyst Matt Miller was involved in a life-threatening car accident in Missouri earlier this month.

Miller, who helps cover the NFL Draft and college football for the Worldwide Leader in Sports, had to be air-lifted to the hospital. He underwent life-saving surgery and ultimately had to undergo a left arm amputation. Miller is now on the mend and is looking forward to getting back to work.

"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," he shared.

Miller released a complete statement on the accident and surgery.

"Last week, I was involved in a serious car accident in Missouri and was airlifted to Mercy Hospital. 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," he shared.

"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."
