Not sure if anyone saw this gruesome injury to our former TE, but vascular surgeons are trying to save Miller's leg, not just his career. Hope all goes well!

Wishing him the best!! What an awful thing to have happen.

The picture of the injury as it happened will make you draw breath sharply through your teeth. I hope everything turns out okay for him.

Hope he makes a full recovery. That's atrocious.

Terrible! I wish him the best.

I wish the guy the best, the pictures I saw of his injury were gruesome.

This is one of those "life is bigger than football" crises. Zach Miller should be fine, but life holds no guarantees.

Thank you, Dr. JaguarsWoman.

Thanks NYC. It looks like they are doing all the right things to help him.

How the hell does that footage not break the Theismann rule?

I'm thankful I did not see the injury.

I'm glad they said the surgery was successful.

I'm hopeful he makes a complete recovery and can have a normal remainder of his life.

I was watching it live, and obviously you could tell after the play that he was injured, but I didn't notice it as it happened live.  As soon as they showed the replay you could immediately see what happened and it was sickening to watch, but somehow neither the commentators nor the replay people saw it because they immediately showed the replay like 3 more times before anyone noticed.

What is the Theismann rule?

I was watching with my son and he (my son) exclaimed "Oh my God!" when he saw the replay while I was getting a beer.  My son told me that seeing the injury was awful.  I didn't see it and have no desire to watch it.

Hopefully he recovers and is able to lead a normal and happy life.  His days of playing are pretty much over.

I saw a still frame of it. No desire to watch it in real time.

Is the "Theismann rule" an actual thing or something a poster made up?

From what I am reading here, it is definitely not a play that will be shown during NFL injury reports on television.
