Summary
Friday’s statement said Miller will be placed on indefinite medical leave from ESPN as he recovers from a 18 June Missouri crash that led to the amputation of his left arm.
Miller, 42, said surgeries on his arm, femur and patella were successful and may allow a prosthetic replacement while saving his left leg after multiple fractures and broken ribs.
The leave comes as Missouri’s attorney general keeps an open consumer-protection investigation into complaints tied to Miller’s side charity work, including fantasy leagues and scouting lessons.
Awful Announcing reported at least seven people paid up to $500 and received no winnings, charity accounting or promised services; an account linked to Miller reportedly ran 91 leagues in 2025.
ESPN expects to address the state probe separately, but the network told the Guardian Miller’s leave is strictly medical and likely to be extended.
