Matt Miller, an NFL draft analyst for ESPN, says his left arm was amputated after he was involved in a car accident last week.

Miller wrote on X Tuesday that he “sustained significant injuries, including multiple fractures and broken ribs” in the crash. “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.”

Per local news reports, Miller was identified as the driver of a Ford Bronco that crossed the center line of a highway in Jasper County, Missouri, on June 17 and collided with a semi truck. The driver of the semi wasn’t injured. Miller was airlifted to a hospital in Joplin after the crash.

“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,” Miller wrote. “Thank you for the overwhelming support, prayers and kind messages — they have meant so much to me and my family during this time.”

Miller joined ESPN in 2021 as contributor to the sports giant’s NFL draft coverage and became a year-round draft analyst the following year. He regularly appears on NFL Live, SportsCenter and the morning show Get Up! in addition to draft-related programming. He previously worked at Bleacher Report and as a scout.
