David Banks / USA TODAY Sports

Chicago Bears tight end Zach Miller has been released from the hospital three weeks after sustaining a gruesome leg injury.

Miller suffered the damage during an Oct. 29 loss to the New Orleans Saints on a play that was originally ruled a touchdown. While trying to secure the ball in the end zone, Miller's leg bent horribly and he was carted off the field.

The 33-year-old underwent immediate surgery to save his leg and was then flown to Chicago, where he remained in the hospital until this week.

Miller was clearly ecstatic to get out on Monday.
