ESPN NFL draft analyst Matt Miller was ejected from his car and lost “a significant amount of blood” during his horrific accident last Wednesday that led to the amputation of his left arm.
Details of the accident, which took place in Missouri and involved Miller’s 2023 Ford Bronco and a semi-truck, were revealed Thursday in a GoFundMe that Miller shared on his X account.
He first announced the news of the crash and amputation Tuesday.
“Matt suffered a compound fracture of his left femur, a shattered left kneecap, multiple broken ribs, and lost a significant amount of blood. To save his life, doctors performed an emergency amputation of his left arm. Remarkably, his head, neck, and spine were spared serious injury,” the GoFundMe page’s summary says.
Miller, who is still in the ICU, had a left leg surgery and a procedure on his shoulder “to evaluate his future prosthetic options,” the page says.
“While the road to recovery will be long and challenging, his determination and positive spirit have never wavered,” the page states.
“In true Matt fashion, he’s already joking that he plans to become ‘the best one-armed bartender ever.’”
Miller joined ESPN in 2021, following an 11-year stint at Bleacher Report.
He has appeared on ESPN’s signature shows during draft season, including “SportsCenter,” “NFL Live” and “Get Up,” in addition to the network’s live coverage of the draft.
He has two children, Hayley and Emmitt, according to his ESPN bio.
