Seattle Seahawks TE Zach Miller to be placed on injured reserve

Published February 05, 2015

The Seattle Seahawks are placing tight end Zach Miller on injured reserve after he struggled in returning from ankle surgery.

Seattle coach Pete Carroll said Wednesday that Miller will need a second surgery to get the problems in ankle corrected. Miller underwent surgery during Seattle's bye week after its Week 3 victory over Denver.

The hope was that Miller would only miss a few games, but his recovery went longer than planned. Carroll said Miller got to the point of running on the ground, but could never progress any further.

Miller is in his fourth season with the Seahawks. He had six receptions for 76 yards in Seattle's first three games this season and has been regarded as one of the best blocking tight ends in the league.
