Bears TE Zach Miller Returns Home After 23 Days In Hospital

By Chris Emma--

(CBS) It's finally home, sweet home for Bears tight end Zach Miller, who tweeted Monday evening that his time in the hospital is over after 23 days.

"Freedom!!!! Guess who's home!?!?" Miller announced.

Miller has been recovering from emergency vascular surgery after tearing the popliteal artery in his left leg. He suffered the horrific injury attempting to catch a touchdown during the Bears' game in New Orleans on Oct. 29.

The full extent of Miller's injury isn't yet known. He was transferred from a New Orleans hospital to a Chicago-area hospital two weeks ago.
