Jacksonville Jaguars

Miller was selected in the sixth round (180th overall) of the 2009 NFL Draft by the Jacksonville Jaguars.[1]

He was placed on injured reserve on September 1, 2012.[5] He was waived from injured reserve on October 16, 2012.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

On January 3, 2013, Miller was signed by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. On August 27, 2013, he was released by the Buccaneers.[6]

Chicago Bears

On December 30, 2013, Miller was signed by the Chicago Bears to a reserve/future contract.[7]

On August 15, 2014, Miller was placed on injured reserve after suffering a foot injury in the preseason.[8]

On February 27, 2015, he signed a one-year extension.[9] In Week 9, against the San Diego Chargers, Miller caught Jay Cutler's 25-yard pass with one hand to score the game-winning touchdown;[10] it was Miller's first NFL touchdown since 2011.[11] One week later, Miller caught five passes for 107 yards, including an 87-yard touchdown pass from Cutler, en route to a 37–13 win over the St. Louis Rams; the catch was the longest by a tight end since Byron Chamberlain's 88-yard play in 1999 and the longest touchdown reception by a Chicago Bear since Matt Forte's 89-yard rush in 2010.[12]

On March 14, 2016, Miller signed a two-year, $5.5 million contract extension with the Bears.[13] He suffered a broken foot in Week 11 and was placed on injured reserve on November 23.[14]

On October 29, 2017, during Week 8 against the New Orleans Saints, Miller suffered an injury to his left knee while attempting to catch a touchdown pass.[15] Miller was taken to nearby University Medical Center New Orleans where further examination revealed he not only dislocated his left knee, but also tore his popliteal artery, a serious, career-threatening injury that could require amputation. Miller underwent successful vascular surgery that day and remained hospitalized for three weeks.[16][17][18] He was placed on injured reserve on November 7.[19] Miller told reporters in December 2017 that he had eight surgeries on his knee.[20]

Miller became a free agent after the 2017 season, but re-signed with the Bears on June 4, 2018, to a one-year deal. As part of the contract, he was guaranteed $458,000 for the 2018 season, and would receive $790,000 if he was able to play.[21] However the next day, the Bears placed Miller on the reserve/PUP list, ending his 2018 season.[22][23]
