Chicago Bears TE Zach Miller (knee) said that he still hopes to play football again. He’s had nine surgeries related to the knee injury he suffered on Sunday, Oct. 29, against the New Orleans Saints, and while he’s ‘out of the woods’ concerning the previous possibility of losing his leg, he’s still waiting on his knee to heal enough to start rehabilitation. There is still no timeline for when that will happen.

New Orleans Saints LB Alex Anzalone (shoulder) declined to say if he’ll be ready to return from injury by the time organized team activities begin, but did mention that his recovery is ‘going well’ and that ‘everything is progressing as it should be.’ Anzalone added that he is ‘really excited’ for the 2018 season.
