Matt Miller said a serious car accident in Missouri last week left him with a life-saving amputation of his left arm. The NFL draft analyst said he is focused on recovery and wants to get back to.
Mercy Hospital and the crash
In a June 23 post to X, Miller wrote, “Last week, I was involved in a serious car accident in Missouri and was airlifted to Mercy Hospital.” He added, “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.”
He also said, “As a result of the accident, I sustained significant injuries, including multiple fractures and broken ribs. 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. Thank you for the overwhelming support, prayers and kind messages – they have meant so much to me and my family during this time.”
Mo-96 and the collision
KOAM News reported that the crash happened at around 3:50 p.m. local time on Wednesday, June 17. It said Miller was driving a 2023 Ford Bronco eastbound on Mo-96 when he crossed the center line and struck a semi tractor trailer.
The crash turned a routine drive into a major medical emergency. Miller’s own description shows the scale of the injury: multiple fractures, broken ribs and the loss of his left arm, all in one incident.
NFL analyst recovery
Miller is 42 and joined as a year-round draft analyst in 2022. Before that, he served as Bleacher Report's lead NFL draft writer from 2010 to 2021.
He ended his post by looking ahead to football work again: “I look forward to continuing my recovery and getting back to to talk football, including what should be an exciting 2027 NFL Draft class.” That leaves the immediate focus on healing first, then a return to the draft work that defined his career.
