ESPN Draft Analyst Matt Miller Loses Left Arm After Missouri Crash

Recovering at Mercy Hospital, he has said he aims to return to ESPN after a long rehabilitation.

Overview

  • Miller was seriously hurt in a car crash that occurred on Wednesday, June 17, when his 2023 Ford Bronco crossed the center line on Missouri Route 96 and struck a semi truck, local KOAM reporting and multiple outlets show.
  • He confirmed in a June 23 post on X that he sustained multiple fractures, broken ribs and underwent a life‑saving amputation of his left arm and that he was airlifted to Mercy Hospital.
  • Photos and local coverage show heavy damage to Miller’s SUV at the scene and KOAM reported the semi driver was not injured; national coverage so far has not cited a completed traffic investigation.
  • ESPN issued a statement offering support and colleagues across the NFL media posted public well‑wishes while Miller thanked first responders, hospital staff and supporters in his statement.
  • Miller said he faces a long recovery but hopes to return to on‑air draft work, including covering the 2027 NFL Draft, which could require extended rehabilitation and changes to his duties in the near term.
