Surgeons Working To Save Zach Miller's Leg

Oct 30, 2017 1:07 PM

Zach Miller underwent emergency surgery on Sunday in an effort to save his injured left leg.

Miller dislocated his knee in the third quarter of Sunday's game against the Saints. Sources told Mortensen that Miller's dislocated knee is considered "more significant" than a regular dislocation, which is a serious injury.

Vascular surgeons were called in to repair Miller's leg, which includes grafting tissue from the other leg to repair the damaged artery.

Andrew Luck Seeking More Opinions On Shoulder

Oct 30, 2017 3:51 PM

Andrew Luck is seeking more opinions to figure out why his surgically repaired shoulder is "not progressing as expected," according to an Indianapolis Colts source.

Luck had what the team believed was a mild setback more than two weeks ago, when he experienced soreness in his throwing shoulder after he was cleared to practice. He received a cortisone injection, only to experience another setback, which the team does not believe is serious, a source said.

The quarterback had surgery to repair a torn labrum on Jan. 15 and the recovery has not gone as expected.

Joe Flacco Suffers Concussion On Hard Hit

Oct 27, 2017 8:12 AM

Joe Flacco suffered a concussion during Thursday night's 40-0 win over the Miami Dolphins.

Flacco left the field bloodied and dazed late in the first half. The Baltimore Ravens quarterback took a hard shot from Kiko Alonso after sliding to the ground on a run. Flacco's helmet immediately flew off and he went to the locker room with a glassy-eyed look and blood coming from his left ear.

Flacco was ruled out of the game during halftime. It is the first reported concussion in Flacco's career.

"Joe had a concussion and a cut ear," John Harbaugh said. "They were stitching that [ear] up without any anesthesia, so he's a tough dude. That's as much as I know about it."
