Matt Miller Suffers Left-Arm Amputation After Missouri Crash

A planned surgery will test whether his shoulder can be reconstructed to support a prosthetic.

Overview

  • Miller was critically injured when his 2023 Ford Bronco crossed the center line and hit a semi on June 17 in Jasper County, Missouri.
  • Doctors performed an emergency amputation of his left arm and treated multiple fractures including a compound femur break and a shattered kneecap; he remains hospitalized in the ICU.
  • Miller announced he is scheduled for a follow-up operation to determine whether his shoulder can be rebuilt well enough to fit and use a prosthetic arm.
  • A family-run GoFundMe to cover medical and recovery costs has raised tens of thousands toward a $55,000 target with donations from colleagues such as Pat McAfee and Adam Schefter.
  • Local officials say the Bronco crossed the center line and the semi driver was uninjured, and ESPN has issued a statement of support while Miller’s short-term availability for work is uncertain.
