Bears TE Zach Miller has emergency leg surgery after injury against Saints

Chicago Bears tight end Zach Miller underwent emergency surgery Sunday night in an effort to save his injured left leg, ESPN’s Chris Mortensen first reported Monday.

The Bears released a statement saying the surgery was a success:

The surgery, performed in New Orleans after the Bears’ loss to the New Orleans Saints, was to repair a damaged artery in Miller’s leg, according to sources. Miller dislocated his knee in the third quarter of the Saints’ 20-12 win Sunday.
