Zach

Miller

Per Redskins beat writer Rick Maese, Campbell already has a deal worked out with Al Davis that will pay him $3.14 million this year and $4.5 million in 2011. Campbell may have to “earn” the job by beating out JaMarcus Russell, but it won’t be a competition. Campbell is a much better passer than either Russell or Bruce Gradkowski, so Zach Miller and Chaz Schilens are now prime candidates for breakout seasons. Upgrade Darren McFadden and Michael Bush as well, as defenses won’t be able to key on the running game.

Miller’s horrific 2017 leg injury — which required nine surgeries — proved to be too much to overcome. 33 then, Miller is now going on 35. A 2009 sixth-round pick of the Jaguars, Miller had major issues with injury even before the big one. He hangs up his cleats with 146 career grabs for 1,631 yards and 15 scores. Miller always offered play-making upside, but his injury issues prevented him from fully tapping into it.

Going on 35, Miller has undergone nine surgeries since his devastating Oct. 2017 knee injury. He appears to be leaning toward hanging his cleats up. Unfortunately, the decision was likely made for him.

Miller never had a realistic shot to play this year, but this officially ends his season. It seems like this was always the plan after the Bears signed Miller to a one-year deal on Monday. It is a classy move by the organization.

The Jags’ speedy second tight end has just four receptions while battling ongoing lower leg injuries this season. With Owens and Osgood sidelined, the Jags are without their two best special teamers.

Miller’s career-long injury woes continue as his season ends with four catches for 42 yards and one touchdown in four games. He’s battled knee, foot and now shoulder issues since breaking into the league in 2009. If healthy, Miller will be back as a reserve behind Marcedes Lewis for the final year of his rookie contract.

This is the first we’ve heard that the injury required surgery. The former quarterback believes he’s more ready to play tight end now than at any point in his career, but he acknowledges that the burden is on him to prove he can stay healthy for a full season. Miller won’t be a fantasy factor behind Marcedes Lewis in 2012.

Miller is fighting through some pain in his partially torn pectoral, but has rushed back with his roster spot in jeopardy. Miller is due $565,000 this season, the final year of his rookie contract.

It sounds like a partially torn muscle for the oft-injured Miller. He’s dealt with knee, foot, shoulder and now pectoral injuries since breaking into the league in 2009. This latest injury could put him on the roster bubble.

He’ll revert to injured reserve if he clears waivers. A converted quarterback, Miller has always had intriguing pass-catching ability, but simply cannot stay healthy. He landed on injured reserve last October with a shoulder injury, and has also battled knee and foot issues. His time in Jacksonville is likely through.
