The Detroit Lions filled a need with the selection of Blake Miller in the 2026 NFL Draft. Are there any medical concerns?
The Lions had a successful Round 1 of the NFL Draft as they filled their biggest position of need with a medically low-risk player in Blake Miller OT. Here was my Blake Miller Medical Report as seen earlier in draft season: Detroit Lions 1st Round - Blake Miller, OT (22yo) Projected round 1 . #23 on Daniel Jeremiah board Jan 27.
Concern level 1/10 2025: 13/13 games 2024: 14/14 games. Wrist surgery in spring. 2023: 13/13 games 2022: 14/14 games Miller has a history of a broken wrist during spring ball subsequent surgery.
Any kind of fracture to the wrist joint could lead to arthritic issues down the road. So far though, the wrist hasn’t affected him much, if at all. This ironman has a perfect track record of reliability in his 4-year career having played 54 games straight.
He set the Clemson record for career snaps from scrimmage with 3,778. If the Lions want grit, Miller might be it. For more Lions coverage, follow us on X, @TheLionsWire , and give our Facebook page a like .
