Anyone who saw the injury knew it was a bad one right away. His foot got stuck in the artificial turf, and all of his weight came crashing down on the knee joint, which couldn’t handle the pressure.
It’s been reported that Miller’s leg was threatened by this injury, and his football career is in doubt at this time as well.
Our thoughts and prayers are with him and his family as he recovers from this extremely serious ordeal.
