ESPN draft analyst Matt Miller<\/a>‘s colleagues are helping out after he lost his arm in a serious car accident earlier this month … with names like Pat McAfee<\/a> and Adam Schefter<\/a> donating to his recovery.<\/p>\n

Miller’s loved ones are raising money to ease the financial burden the draft expert will face after multiple surgeries and impending rehab, medical care, travel, and prosthetic planning … and the former Indianapolis Colts punter wasted no time contributing $5,525 to the cause<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The goal is now $55,000 total … and Schefty, Pete Thamel, Jeremy Fowler, Mina Kimes<\/a>, and more have also put up money for Miller’s cause.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Miller posted an update on his status via X on Friday … stating, “Today\u2019s surgery is a big one. To find out if my shoulder can be reconstructed in order to [support] a prosthetic arm. Your continued thoughts and prayers are so appreciated.”<\/p>\n

As we previously reported, the accident happened around 4 PM in Jasper County, Missouri, on June 17 … when officials say Miller’s 2023 Bronco crossed the center line and collided with a semi.<\/p>\n

Miller was flown to a nearby hospital for immediate treatment of injuries … a compound fracture to his left femur, shattered left kneecap, broken ribs, a “significant amount” of blood loss, and the amputated left arm, which he said was “life-saving.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"ESPN draft analyst Matt Miller‘s colleagues are helping out after he lost his arm in a serious car…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":729196,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[63],"tags":[3,349,99,2415,2525],"class_list":["post-729195","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-news","tag-nfl","tag-sports","tag-sports-news","tag-tmz-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/729195","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=729195"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/729195\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/729196"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=729195"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=729195"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=729195"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
