According to reports from Missouri, the crash occurred last week in Jasper County. Authorities said a Ford Bronco driven by Miller crossed the center line on Missouri Route 96 and collided with a semi-truck. The driver of the truck was not injured.
Miller thanked supporters for the messages and prayers he and his family have received since the accident.
"Thank you for the overwhelming support, prayers and kind messages," he wrote. "They have meant so much to me and my family during this time."
The longtime draft analyst also expressed hope that he will eventually return to work.
"I look forward to continuing my recovery and getting back to ESPN to talk football, including what should be an exciting 2027 NFL Draft class," Miller said.
Miller joined ESPN in 2021 after spending more than a decade as Bleacher Report's lead NFL draft writer and analyst.
